For microinfusions, the concentrations used were 21.1 mM (6.25 μg μl−1) for β-adrenoceptor antagonist propranolol [(S)-(−)-propranolol hydrochloride, 295.80 g mol−1; Sigma-Aldrich), 3.1 mM (1 μg μl−1) for D1/D5 receptor antagonist SCH23390 (SCH 23390 hydrochloride, 324.24 g mol−1; Tocris) and 2% w/v for voltage-gated sodium channel blocker lidocaine (lidocaine hydrochloride monohydrate, 288.81 g mol−1; Sigma-Aldrich). α2-adrenoceptor agonist clonidine (clonidine hydrochloride, 266.55 g mol−1; Sigma-Aldrich) was administered i.p. at a dose of 50 μg kg−1 of body weight. We used 0.9% NaCl (saline) in H2O as a vehicle and for control infusions. Both vehicle and drug solutions were stored in 100 μl aliquots at −20°C until use.

2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ([18F]FDG) was prepared in-house using a fully automated cassette-based synthesizer (FASTlab, GE Healthcare, Uppsala, Sweden) within the clinical routine production at the Vienna General Hospital, Austria. [11C]SNAP-7941 was synthesized as reported elsewhere using an automated module (TRACERlab FC X Pro, GE Healthcare, Uppsala, Sweden) (25 (link)). All PET-tracers were physiologically formulated and quality-controlled prior to administration. The adrenergic receptor beta ligands carazolol, pindolol and (S)-propranolol hydrochloride were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, USA). The ADRB3 agonist CL 316,243 was purchased from Tocris Bioscience (Bristol, UK). The unlabeled compounds FE@SNAP and SNAP-7941 were synthesized at the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry and at the Department of Organic Chemistry (University of Vienna, Austria). The radioligands 5,7-[3H](-)CGP-12177 and [125I](-)Iodocyanopindolol were purchased from PerkinElmer, Inc. (Waltham, USA). All other reagents and cell culture supplies were purchased from standard commercial sources.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
