Abstract excerpt
Beta2-adrenergic receptors (beta2-AR) contribute to cardiovascular regulation by influencing several functions and previous studies suggest that a decreased function of the beta2-AR may be involved in essential hypertension. Beta2-AR are polymorphic and certain polymorphisms of these receptors are of functional importance. We focus here on the Arg16-->Gly16 beta2-AR polymorphism, which shows enhanced...
