    The Adrenergic Control of Lower Esophageal Sphincter Function: AN EXPERIMENTAL MODEL OF DENERVATION SUPERSENSITIVITY Anthony J. DiMarino, Sidney Cohen J Clin Invest. 1973;52(9):2264-2271. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI107413. To evaluate the adrenergic regulation of lower esophageal sphincter (LES) function, LES pressure, LES relaxation during swallowing, and blood pressure were measured in the anesthetized opossum, Didelphis virginiana, during intravenous administration of alpha and beta adrenergic agonists and antagonists. Studies were done in controls and animals adrenergically denervated with 6-hydroxydopamine. Alpha adrenergic agonists (norepinephrine, phenylephrine) increased LES pressure and blood pressure, whereas a beta adrenergic agonist (isoproterenol) decreased both pressures. Alpha adrenergic antagonism (phentolamine) reduced basal LES pressure by 38.3±3.8% (mean ±SEM) (P < 0.001). Beta adrenergic antagonism (propranolol) had no significant effect on either basal LES pressure or percent of LES relaxation with swallowing. After adrenergic denervation with 6-hydroxydopamine, basal LES pressure was reduced by 22.5±5.3% (P < 0.025) but LES relaxation during swallowing was unaltered. In denervated animals, both LES pressure and blood pressure dose response curves showed characteristics of denervation supersensitivity to alpha but not to beta adrenergic agonists. These studies suggest: (a) a significant portion of basal LES pressure is dependent upon alpha adrenergic stimulation; (b) LES relaxation during swallowing is not an adrenergically mediated response; c( ) the LES pressure response to alpha adrenergic agonists after 6-hydroxydopamine may serve as a model of denervation supersensitivity in the gastrointestinal tract.

Received: 15 August 2018; Accepted: 17 October 2018; Published: 25 October 2018 Abstract: Autism is a developmental disability that can cause significant emotional, social and behavioral dysfunction. Sleep disorders co-occur in approximately half of the patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Sleep problems in individuals with ASD have also been associated with poor social interaction, increased stereotypy, problems in communication, and overall autistic behavior. Behavioral interventions are considered a primary modality of treatment. There is limited evidence for psychopharmacological treatments in autism; however, these are frequently prescribed. Melatonin, antipsychotics, antidepressants, and α agonists have generally been used with melatonin, having a relatively large body of evidence. Further research and information are needed to guide and individualize treatment for this population group. Keywords: autism spectrum disorder; sleep disorders in ASD; medications for sleep disorders in ASD; comorbidities in ASD 1. Introduction Autism is a developmental disability that can cause significant emotional, social, and behavioral dysfunction. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-V) classification [1], autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by persistent deficits in domains of social communication, social interaction, restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities.
