title: Effect of CL316,243, a highly specific beta3-adrenoceptor agonist, on sympathetic nervous system activity in mice.
abstract: To examine whether long-term administration of a beta3-adrenoceptor agonist influences sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity, norepinephrine (NE) turnover, a reliable indicator of SNS activity, in the interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT), the heart, and the spleen, as well as urinary excretion of NE, were measured using mice treated with CL316,243 (CL), a highly specific beta3-adrenoceptor agonist, at a dose that stimulated thermogenesis and reduced body weight. CL significantly decreased NE turnover in the IBAT, heart, and spleen and decreased urinary excretion of NE without affecting food intake over 1 to 4 weeks of treatment. These findings show that long-term administration of the beta3-adrenoceptor agonist decreases SNS activity and urinary excretion of NE.
