Re: Cleanup. There's a lot of info at Basic Neurochemistry: α- and β-Adrenergic Receptors to be incorporated into this article. We might also need sources for the order of agonist activity! Micha 08:05, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Order of affinities
I don't trust the given order of affinities (see e.g. edit by 130.15.183.214 on 06:31, 24 April 2006 [1]) and I can't find a good source to back them up. So, I've moved them here. Micha 11:39, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
I've found a source for the potencies and have tabulated them with a reference. Hope this helps. 86.141.193.9 17:42, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Noradrenaline>Adrenaline>Phenylephrine order of potency for alpha-1
β-Adrenergic receptors: Agonist affinity: isoprenaline > adrenaline > noradrenaline
Isoprenaline is not a selective alpha agonist - reference to this has been removed. 82.25.249.189 16:30, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps we can have two varients of this webpage. One with the UK terms, one with the US terms. I believe epinepherine and norepinepherine are more widely used.--Carlwfbird 17:20, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
- I think a disclaimer at the top would be sufficient. I've always studied using the US terms, but I don't mind the UK terms at all since we're taught that they're the same thing. 70.104.126.213 02:42, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
