  • On returning from La Jolla to Brooklyn in 1972, I continued research on the role of receptors located on prejunctional terminals (varicosities) of adrenergic nerves.

    Robert F. Furchgott - Autobiography 1999

  • He first pharmacologically characterized with the use of various muscarinic agonists and antagonists the prejunctional receptor through which acetylcholine produces a marked inhibition of norepinephrine release (monitored by both the degree of vasoconstriction and [3H] norepinephrine release).

    Robert F. Furchgott - Autobiography 1999

  • I collaborated with Kirpekar in an attempt to characterize the inhibitory prejunctional - adrenergic receptors on the nerve terminals in cat spleen.

    Robert F. Furchgott - Autobiography 1999

  • At the same time I was continuing studies, with the assistance of Taruna Wakade, on the pharmacology of cholinergic nicotinic receptors on adrenergic prejunctional terminals in the guinea-pig left atrium.

    Robert F. Furchgott - Autobiography 1999

  • At the same time, one of my graduate students, Odd Steinsland, was conducting a very exciting thesis project on cholinergic receptors on prejunctional adrenergic nerve terminals in the isolated, perfused central ear artery of the rabbit.

    Robert F. Furchgott - Autobiography 1999

  • He then went on to study the release of norepinephrine from the adrenergic neurons in the ear artery by cholinergic agonists acting on prejunctional nicotinic receptors.

  • In order to identify whether NO signals were produced in prejunctional nitrergic nerve terminals, we applied EFS to the tissues that had been loaded with DAF-2.
