The beta(2)-adrenergic receptor Arg16-gly polymorphism and interactions involving beta(2)- and beta(3)-adrenergic receptor polymorphisms are associated with variations in longitudinal serum lipid profiles: the Bogalusa Heart Study
Abstract
We examined the effects of combined genotypes of the beta(2)-adrenergic receptor (AR) Arg(16)-Gly and beta(3)-AR Trp(64)-Arg polymorphisms on longitudinal serum total (T-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) profiles in 1,198 subjects examined multiple times (6,488 observations) from 1973 to 1996 in the Bogalusa Heart Study, at ages from 4.5 to 38 years. Within 5-year age groups, T-C was significantly (P <.05) higher in beta(2)-AR Arg(16)/Arg(16) homozygotes than in Gly(16) carriers among those 4 to 8 (171.4 +/- 30.0 v 161.5 +/- 27.7 mg/dL), 9 to 13 (167.7 +/- 28.6 v 162.4 +/- 27.4 mg/dL), and 14 to 18 (158.8 +/- 29.6 v 154.7 +/- 27.5 mg/dL) years of age, but not in those 19 to 23, 24 to 28, 29 to 33, or 34 to 38 years of age. The beta(3)-AR polymorphism was not associated with variation in either T-C or LDL-C. In multilevel polynomial growth curve models, the combination of the beta(2)-AR Arg(16)/Arg(16) genotype with either the beta(3)-AR Arg(64)/Arg(64) or Trp(64)/Arg(64) genotypes, denoted AA/AX, was associated with variation in longitudinal T-C (P <.01) and LDL-C (P <.01) profiles. The association between combined beta(2)/beta(3)-AR genotype and lipid profiles differed among race/sex groups, being most marked ...Continue Reading

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.
