Abstract excerpt
1. Left atrial strips from transgenic (TG4) mice with cardiac-specific overexpression ( approximately 200-fold) of the beta(2) adrenoceptor (beta(2)AR) were isolated, and their isometric force of contraction (F(c)) in response to electrical stimulation was measured. 2. The betaAR agonist isoprenaline elicited negative inotropic responses in all left atrial strips; in 6/11 preparations, it also had a small...
