Abstract excerpt
Studies performed have shown that the Arg16Gly allele in beta-adrenoceptors (beta2AR) enhances susceptibility to agonist-induced down-regulation, while the Gln27Glu polymorphism diminishes it. In this study, we tested whether similar phenotypes occur in vivo. We assessed 32 volunteers (mean age 2...
