Regulation of I1-imidazoline receptors on the sedation effect of dexmedetomidine in mice
Dexmedetomidine has been used as a sedative drug in the clinic for a long time. Many studies demonstrated that the sedative mechanism of dexmedetomidine might be related to the activation of α2-adrenoceptor (α...
