Contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle is a tightly regulated process involving numerous endogenous substances and their intracellular second messengers. We examine the key role of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in mediating smooth muscle relaxation. We briefly review the current art reg
Prolonged or repeated exposure to p-agonist medications may result in a desensitization of the agonist-mediated response. Under certain conditions, such agonist-induced desensitization may limit the efficacy of administered p-adrenergic agonists to elicit bronchodilation. Accordingly, the present st
