“In studies on superfused synaptosomes from the rat medulla oblongata, the inhibitory effects of theα2-adrenergic agonist clonidine (0.1μM) on potassium (15 mM K+) induced3H-noradrenaline (NA) release was potentiated by 20%, when neuropeptide Y was added to the system.”
“This was … that clonidine … potassium conductance by causing an elevation in the free intracellular calcium concentration 7 Clonidine reversibly depressed the amplitude of the nicotinic fast excitatory … effects of clonidine were shared by adrenaline and the actions of both were reversed or prevented by phentolamine (100 nM‐1 μM).”

“4 The monovalent cations, sodium and potassium , and the divalent cation, calcium, produced concentration‐dependent decreases in [3H]‐clonidine binding to membranes prepared from renal cortex, the EC50s being respectively 25 mm, 37 mm and 23 mm.”
