RE: "Beta Blocker" Blood Pressure Medication Modifies Expression of a Gene Involved in Heart Failure

in #science7 years ago

Great workup....Are this all experiments done with atenolol only or other b blockers too?..There are other b-blockers like Carvedilol and Labetalol which have both alpha and b blocking action, is there any role of Alpha1 blocking action ? because by blocking alpha 1 there is reduced afterload to the heart.

Sort:  

These are excellent questions! In the article they only used atenolol. I do not know the answers to your questions about the other beta blockers, or about the involvement of alpha androgenic receptor binding unfortunately!

Thanks for the appreciation, likely they have not done experiment on other b blockers, it will be great too see how it goes.
