The density of platelet c~z-adrenoceptors, quantified by means of the binding of [3H]clonidine, and the aggregation response induced by adrenaline, was investigated in ten heroin addicts. The number of binding sites for [3H]clonidine was significantly increased during heroin abuse. Concomitantly, th

X-ray microanalysis was applied to investigate ion transport mediated by P2U purinoceptors and alpha 2A adrenoceptors as well as their interaction in the regulation of the intracellular elemental concentration in HT29 cells. In response to ATP, HT29 cells showed a decrease of intracellular Cl, Na an
## Abstract Although osteopontin (OPN) is highly expressed in osteoclasts, OPN‐deficient mice have a near‐normal bone phenotype and its role in osteoclast differentiation and function remains uncertain. We used an adenoviral OPN‐antisense vector (AdOPN‐AS) to down‐regulate OPN expression in a human
