Example Sentences:

(14) We reinvestigated if it was possible to reveal this phenomenon by carefully choosing a concentration of the alpha adrenoceptor blocker prazosin that would give a significant displacement while it still was possible to completely surmount the blockade by reasonable concentrations of norepinephrine.
(15) In the absence of U46619, 5-HT responses were mediated predominantly by 5-HT2-receptors as judged by potent, surmountable antagonism by the selective 5-HT2 receptor antagonists, spiperone and ketanserin.
