Our recent study demonstrates the existence of previously unrecognized central nervous β-adrenoceptor (β-AR) mechanisms ... β-blockers may also act directly in the brain and that this action ...

β-blockers exert an antihypertensive effect via several mechanisms of action: central inhibition of sympathetic nervous system outflow, inhibition of the renin–angiotensin system by decreasing ...
