The effect of adrenaline in various concentrations and dopamine at a concentration of 10 mol/mL on the behavior of Paramecium caudatum was studied. It is shown that adrenaline reduces motor activity and changes the movement strategy of these protozoans; a dose-dependent behavioral response on the drug concentration was observed. This effect can be explained by the presence of adrenaline receptors located on the surface of the cell membrane.

Non-healing wounds are a major medical challenge, affecting over 6.5 million people in the US alone, with associated healthcare costs of about $16 billion annually. They can result in prolonged hospitalizations, work loss, disability, poor quality of life, and in diabetic patients with foot ulcers, amputation of the affected limb in 25% of patients.

Although the cutaneous injury in such a scenario may not be lethal, it may lead to inflammation, delayed wound healing and loss of the skin barrier, resulting in an increased risk of infection. In this study, we tested the potential use of timolol, a beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist, to improve epidermal wound closure after combined burn and radiation injury using an ex vivo human skin culture model.

The central role of neuropeptide S (NPS), identified as the endogenous ligand for GPR154, now named neuropeptide S receptor (NPSR), has not yet been fully clarified. We examined the central role of NPS for body temperature, energy expenditure, locomotor activity and adrenal hormone secretion in rats. Intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of NPS increased body temperature in a dose-dependent manner.
