Adrenergic receptors in
Alzheimer's disease brain: Selective increases in the cerebella of
aggressive patients. Administration of
Isoprenaline in the presence and absence of Beta1 and Beta2 adrenergic
receptor antagonists showed that hESC-derived cardiomyocytes are
comparable to adult human ventricular myocytes in that Isoprenaline
responses can be mediated by both Beta1 and Beta2 adrenergic receptors. Results from the GRAHF study on two gene
variations in aldosterone synthase and beta-1 adrenergic receptor were
presented in Atlanta at the 55th Annual Scientific Session of the
American College of Cardiology. |
