α2C Evidences demonstrate that sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation causes osteopenia via β2-adrenoceptor (β2-AR) signaling. In a recent study, we showed that female mice with chronic sympathetic hyperactivity due to double knockout of adrenoceptors that negatively regulate norepinephrine release, α2A-AR and α2C-AR (α2A/α2C-ARKO), present an unexpected phenoty...
