We have shown that glucocorticoids induce the appearance of beta 2-adrenergic receptors in membranes of the ductus deferens smooth muscle cell line (DDT1 MF-2). A concomitant increase in isoproterenol stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in the absence of exogenously applied GTP was observed as was

Previous reports have confirmed that steroid hormones modulate the expression of adrenergic receptors on the surface of smooth muscle myocytes. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the mechanism by which testosterone modulates alpha-1 adrenergic receptor expression in the DDT1 MF-2 transform
## Abstract Cannabinoid CB~1~‐receptor stimulation in DDT~1~ MF‐2 smooth muscle cells induces a rise in [Ca^2+^]~i~, which is dependent on extracellular Ca^2+^ and modulated by thapsigargin‐sensitive stores, suggesting capacitative Ca^2+^ entry (CCE), and by MAP kinase. Non‐capacitative Ca^2+^ entr
