## Abstract As human males age, a decline in baroreflexβmediated elevation of blood pressure occurs due, at least in part, to a reduction in alphaβ1 adrenergic vasoconstrictor function. Alpha adrenergic constriction is mediated by guanosine triphosphate binding Protein (G Protein) coupled signaling
Tricyclic antidepressant drugs reduce the sensitivity of ~2 adrenoceptors during long-term treatment. In the present study, the ~2 adrenergic agonist clonidine was administered to 11 depressed patients before and during treatment with the triazolopyridine antidepressant trazodone (TRZ). Clonidine's
