[Adrenergic mechanisms in the formation of adaptive response of different tissues]
Abstract:
The proliferative tissue activity of the small intestine, kidney, liver and submandibular salivary gland was studied in 10-h immobilization after blocking peripheral beta-adrenoreceptors by obsidan. It is shown that the proliferation increased in all the tissues examined, except the submandibular gland. The injection of obsidan before and during immobilization led to a decrease and delay of DNA synthesis (the intestine, liver), short-term proliferative inhibition (kidney), to stimulation of stress-inhibited proliferation (submandibular gland). It is suggested that the pattern of tissue adaptive response is defined by beta-adrenergic mechanisms.

Adrenergic Receptors (Adrenoceptors): Classification
α-Adrenoceptors
α-Adrenoceptors are classified into two main subtypes: α1 and α2. The α1 adrenoceptors, which are found on postsynaptic...
Adrenergic Receptors: ɑ Subtype
Adrenaline ≥ Noradrenaline >> Isoprenaline
α-adrenoceptors are further divided into α1 and α2-adrenoceptors.
α1-Adrenoceptors: These receptors are located postsynaptically on the effector organs and cause constriction of smooth muscle mediated by activation of phospholipase C—inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate...
Adrenergic Receptors: β Subtype
Isoprenaline > Adrenaline > Noradrenaline
Neurotransmitter binding to these receptors causes activation of adenylyl cyclase resulting in increased concentrations of cAMP and modulation of calcium ion channels within the cell. They are further classified into β1, β2, and β3 subtypes.
β1-adrenoceptors: β1-adrenoceptors have equal affinities for...

Hormones of the Adrenal Glands
The adrenal cortex, a powerhouse of hormone synthesis, generates over two dozen corticosteroid hormones. The zona glomerulosa produces mineralocorticoids, exemplified by aldosterone, influencing the electrolyte composition of body fluids. The synthesis of glucocorticoids such as cortisol and corticosterone...
