Abstract

The existence of beta 2-adrenergic receptor in pancreatic beta-cell was evaluated. Significantly low beta 2-stimulant responsiveness of pancreatic beta-cell was observed in continuously medicated and active asthmatic subjects, indicating beta-adrenergic blockade state. This low responsiveness recovered in the inactive stage of asthma and with hydrocortisone treatment.

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.

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.

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.
