α2-Adrenergic Receptor in Liver Fibrosis: Implications for the Adrenoblocker Mesedin
The noradrenergic system is proposed to play a prominent role in the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis. While α1- and β-adrenergic receptors (ARs) are suggested to be involved in a multitude of profibrogenic actions, little is known about α2-AR-mediated effects and their expr...
