How do drugs that promote the release of norepinephrine (NE) affect receptor activation?
Added by Zachary H.
Step 1
These drugs, often referred to as sympathomimetic agents, work by stimulating the release of NE from nerve terminals in the sympathetic nervous system. This is typically achieved through direct or indirect interactions with the presynaptic membrane, leading to an Show more…

Explain how adrenergic neurotransmission is affected by (a) amphetamines and (b) reserpine. (See Table $24-2$.)
Explain how adrenergic neurotransmission is affected by (a) amphetamines and (b) reserpine. (See Table 23.2 .)
The catechol system is important for the binding of adrenergic agonists, but it is not required for adrenergic antagonists. Why should this be the case? The active enantiomer of arylpropanolamines is S, yet for the arylethanolamines it is R. What do you think is going on in the binding site? Summarize what a selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor does and how it would affect depression:
