19616571 Alam M, Danysz W, Schmidt WJ, Dekundy A: Effects of glutamate and alpha2-noradrenergic receptor antagonists on the development of neurotoxicity produced by chronic rotenone in rats. Toxicol Appl Pharmacol. 2009 Oct 15;240(2):198-207. Epub 2009 Jul 17.

The aim of this study was to elucidate whether neramexane (NMDA, nicotinic alpha9/alpha10 and 5-HT3 receptor antagonist), idazoxan (alpha2-adrenoceptor antagonist) or 2-methyl-6-(phenyl-ethyl)-pyrimidine (MPEP, metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 antagonist) prevents rotenone-induced parkinsonian-like behaviours and neurochemical changes in rats.

15764673 Bailey SR, Mitra S, Flavahan S, Flavahan NA: Reactive oxygen species from smooth muscle mitochondria initiate cold-induced constriction of cutaneous arteries. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol. 2005 Jul;289(1):H243-50. Epub 2005 Mar 11.

Cold constricts cutaneous blood vessels by selectively increasing the activity of smooth muscle alpha2-adrenoceptors (alpha2-ARs).
The inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I rotenone (10 micromol/l), the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC; 20 mmol/l), or the cell-permeable mimic of superoxide dismutase MnTMPyP (50 micromol/l) did not affect vasoconstriction to alpha2-AR stimulation (UK-14304) at 37 degrees C but dramatically inhibited the response at 28 degrees C.
