Activation of TAAR1 by specific agonists can produce a variety of physiological effects centrally and peripherally. The objective of this study was to investigate the vasodilator effect of two selective TAAR1 agonists 3-iodothyronamine (T1AM) and RO5263397 in the isolated perfused rat kidney preparation.

Objectives: the effects of chronic treatment of diabetic rats with GYY4137 (slow releasing HS donor) or NaHS (fast releasing HS donor) on the reactivity of the mesenteric bed to vasoactive agonists and the changes in its downstream effectors, ERK1/2 and p38 MAP Kinase have been investigated. In addition, the levels of nitric oxide (NO) and HS in all groups were measured.
