The permeability of the blood‐brain barrier for atenolol, a hydrophilic β‐adrenergic blocking
agent, has been assessed in dogs, by studying the distribution of [11C] atenolol in brain …

Previous investigations have suggested that hydrophilic β-Blockers, which appear at low
concentrations in brain tissue, are less likely to produce CNS-related side-effects than are …

Vivid and bizarre dreams, hallucinations, sleep disturbance and psychosis have all been
described following treatment with β-Blockers. It has been suggested that these central …

Since the late 19th century, French psychiatrists have added to our understanding of brain-
induced hallucinations. The syndrome of musical hallucinosis is a rare form of brain-induced …

The most common mild side effects occurring with use of β-blockers, thiazide diuretics, and
angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors for blood pressure control are central nervous …

Effects of chronic treatment with propranolol or atenolol on stress-induced changes in blood
pressure, body weight and cerebral β-adrenoceptors in rats were examined and compared …

Neither the kinetics of the hydrophilic beta‐adrenoceptor blocker atenolol nor those of the
lipophilic metoprolol were influenced by the concurrent administration of amitriptyline …

Although β-Blockers are structurally closely related, there are marked differences in the
extent of metabolism, related mainly to relative lipophilicity. Lipophilic β-Blockers are …

Antihypertensive medications, although promoted and prescribed primarily for their ability to
reduce arterial blood pressure, have a variety of other effects that significantly affect the lives …

The effects of the β-blocker atenolol on vigilance, concentration, and psychophysiological
condition were determined by measuring visual reaction time and choice reaction time in …
