Anti-inflammatory activities of beta2-agonists.

Abstract excerpt

Beta2-adrenergic agonists (beta2-agonists) play a pivotal role in the acute and chronic management of asthma. Their major action on the airways is the relaxation of smooth muscle cells. In addition to their bronchodilator properties, beta2-agonists may have other effects through their activation of beta2-receptors expressed on resident airway cells such as epithelial cells and mast cells and circulating...
