Sympathetic and sensory nerve fibers regulate osteosynthesis and osteoresorption processes throughout life. Fundamental research and clinical data confirm the existence of functional interactions between neurons and bone tissue cells and indicate the catabolic and anabolic effect of sympathetic nervous system mediators on bone tissue. There is practically no information about the regulation of osteoremodeling in embryogenesis. Objective: to study the effect of norepinephrine on the growth of bone tissue explants in the embryonic period of development. The studies were performed on the bone tissue explants of 12-day old chicken embryos. Norepinephrine (10-10 M - 10-4 M), propranolol (10-10 M), atenolol (10-4 M), urapidil (10-6 M) were added to the experimental Petri dishes. Norepinephrine (10-6 M) stimulates the growth of the bone tissue explants through α1-adrenoreceptors. The osteotoxic effect of high doses of the drug is realized through β2-adrenoreceptors. Embryonic osteogenesis is regulated by norepinephrine in dose-dependent manner. Physiological effect of the substance depends on the interaction with certain types of adrenoreceptors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
