Abstract

Beta-adrenoceptor agonists have several pharmacological actions in the lung which affect airway function. They have a direct relaxant effect on human bronchial smooth muscle and several additional properties, including attenuation of mast cell mediater release, reduction in airway microvascular leakage, and inhibition of cholinergic neurotransmission within the airway, in vitro. However, direct evidence in vivo for any anti-inflammatory effects of beta-adrenocepter agonists is limited. We reported that beta-agonists (procaterol, salmeterol) inhibited significantly I. A. R. and L. A. R. Salmeterol also reduced urinary secretion of LTE4. It is suggested that beta-agonists have some of anti-allergic effects in the clinical pharmacological study. From recent clinical studies, it is recommended on demand use more than regular use of inhaled beta-agonists.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Adrenergic Receptors: Trafficking

Adrenergic receptor trafficking is an active physiological process where adrenergic receptors are relocated from one region of the cell to another or from one type of cell to another. Discover the latest research on adrenergic receptor trafficking here.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
