Abstract excerpt
In subjects heterozygous for Thr164Ile beta2-adrenoceptor (beta2AR) polymorphism, cardiac responses to beta2AR agonist stimulation are blunted. In this study, we investigated agonist-induced desensitization of Thr164Ile beta2ARs. For this purpose, we assessed in six subjects with heterozygous Thr164Ile beta2ARs and in 10 subjects with homozygous wild-type (WT) beta2ARs the effects of 2-wk oral treatment with 3 x...
