Abstract excerpt
The beta2-adrenergic receptors (beta2AR) play an important role in lung fluid regulation. Previous research has suggested that subjects homozygous for arginine at amino acid 16 of the beta2AR (Arg16) may have attenuated receptor function relative to subjects homozygous for glycine at the same ami...
