Background The beta-3-adrenergic receptor (b3AR) stimulates lipolysis and thermogenesis in adipocytes. The Trp64Arg b3AR variant is associated in some, but not all, studies with an earlier onset of Type 2 diabetes mellitus and features of the insulin resistance syndrome. Functional studies as to the
Beta-adrenergic receptor number and receptor affinity for isoproterenol were assessed at various in vitro ages of the human diploid fibroblast cell line IMR-90. From population doubling level (PDL) 33 to 44, there was a positive correlation between beta-adrenergic receptor density and PDL (r = 0.709
The ability of adenosine to function as an inhibitory modulator of inflammatory processes has been well documented. While the activation of adenosine A 2 receptors has been implicated in the anti-inflammatory actions of adenosine, the specific mechanisms by which adenosine modulates the function of
