Clonidine combined with adrenergic antagonists were injected in the medial septal area in order to characterize the type of receptors involved with its inhibitory effect on 3% NaCl and water intake of sodium-depleted (furosemide + 24 h of removal of ambient sodium) and 30-h water-deprived rats, respectively. The inhibitory effect of clonidine (20 nmol) on need-induced water intake was reduced 50% by an 80-nmol dose of either idazoxan, yohimbine or prazosin. The inhibitory effect of clonidine (30 nmol) on need-induced 3% NaCl intake was completely antagonized by idazoxan (80, 160 nmol), not altered by yohimbine (40-160 nmol), and partially potentiated (40 nmol) or inhibited (160 nmol) by prazosin. Propranolol did not alter the effects of clonidine on either water (80 nmol) or 3% NaCl (40-160 nmol) intake. The results suggest that the inhibitory effects of clonidine on 3% NaCl and water intake are mediated by different types of alpha2-adrenergic receptors.

D011941 Receptors, Adrenergic Cell-surface proteins that bind epinephrine and/or norepinephrine with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes. The two major classes of adrenergic receptors, alpha and beta, were originally discriminated based on their cellular actions but now are distinguished by their relative affinity for characteristic synthetic ligands. Adrenergic receptors may also be classified according to the subtypes of G-proteins with which they bind; this scheme does not respect the alpha-beta distinction.
