β-Adrenergic agonist and antagonist regulation of autophagy in HepG2 cells, primary mouse hepatocytes, and mouse liver. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Autophagy recently has been shown to be involved in normal hepatic function and in pathological conditions such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Adrenergic signalling also is an important regulator of hepatic metabolism and function.

Astrocytic β2 Adrenergic Receptor Gene Deletion Affects Memory in Aged Mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 In vitro and in vivo studies suggest that the astrocytic adrenergic signalling enhances glycogenolysis which provides energy to be transported to nearby cells and in the form of lactate. This energy source is important for motor and cognitive functioning.

Clinical Use of β2-adrenergic Receptor Agonists Based on Their Intrinsic Efficacy
Allergology International, 2005 Clinical choice of β2-adrenergic receptor agonists (β2-agonists) is based on the parameter of receptor selectivity, potency, and duration of action. The guidelines for asthma management describe nothing about intrinsic efficacy concerning the use of β2 ...

Pregnancy modifies the α2-β-adrenergic receptor functional balance in rabbit fat cells
Journal of Lipid Research, 1999 The sympathetic nervous system controls lipolysis in fat by activation of four adrenergic receptors: β1, β2, β3, and α2. During pregnancy, maternal metabolism presents anabolic and catabolic phases, characterized by modifications of fat responsiveness to

Effects of β2-agonists and exercise on β2-adrenergic receptor signaling in skeletal muscles
Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2012 In this review, we discuss the anabolic and metabolic responses of skeletal muscles to β2-agonists and exercise. β2-agonists increase muscle mass, particularly in fast-twitch muscles.
