“When the Ca++ responses are compared to the previously published results on cAMP inhibition in Chinese hamster ovary cells, clonidine seems to be significantly less efficacious in elevating Ca++ than in decreasing cAMP.”

“ Clonidine also inhibited both cAMP and Ca2+ -induced decreases in apical Na+ uptake and apical membrane NHE2 and NHE3 endocytosis stimulated by these agents.”
“ Clonidine also increases the basal phosphorylation of tyrosine hydroxylase at Ser-19, perhaps by directly activating calcium and calmodulin-stimulated protein kinase II.”
“ Clonidine inhibited the uptake of calcium and the overall phosphorylation of tyrosine hydroxylase induced by nicotinic receptor activation in bovine adrenal medullary chromaffin cells in culture.”
“ Low-Ca2+ solutions also blunted but did not block entirely the clonidine response, indicating that the primary Ca2+ release was from intracellular stores.”

“A single, high dose of clonidine followed by an overnight fast caused marked increases in calcium content and acinar secretory granules in the submandibular and sublingual glands, similar to those caused by reserpine.”
“With clonidine , the volume of submandibular saliva was much higher but the Ca concentration was 3-4 times lower than that of the parotid; both salivas had low Na but high K concentrations.”
“Stimulation of alpha 2-adrenoceptors or kappa-opiate receptors with clonidine (0.1-100 microM) or dynorphin A fragment (1-13) (0.2-5.0 microM) respectively, produced a dose dependent reduction in the intrasynaptosomal free calcium concentration.”

“ Clonidine (5 microM) significantly reduced trifluoperazine-induced release by approximately 50% in the presence of Ca++ , and in its absence, clonidine significantly attenuated the trifluoperazine response by 42%.”
