Abstract excerpt
Both beta(1)- and beta2-adrenergic receptors (beta(1)- and beta(2)-AR) have important roles in heart function mainly in response to catecholamines. Some specific polymorphisms in the beta(1)- and beta(2)-AR genes, named ADRB1 and ADRB2, respectively, have been implicated in several cardiovascular and noncardiovascular phenotypes. In this study, we aimed to investigate the possible relationship between Ser49Gly...
