Trafficking of β2-adrenergic receptors: insulin and β-agonists regulate internalization by distinct cytoskeletal pathways [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2004 Insulin and β-adrenergic agonists stimulate a rapid phosphorylation and sequestration of the β2-adrenergic receptors (β2ARs). Although the expectation was that a common pathway would be involved in the trafficking of the β2AR in response to either hormone, studies reported herein show the existence of unique cytoskeletal requirements for ...

Concerted action of human chorionic gonadotropin and norepinephrine on intracellular-free calcium in human granulosa-lutein cells [PDF]
, 1993 Luteal cells are known to possess receptors for LH/hCG and receptors of the beta-adrenergic type. Interactions of specific agonists with either receptor lead to the activation of adenylate cyclase and subsequently to an increase of cAMP.

Beta-agonist stimulation ameliorates the phenotype of spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy mice and patient-derived myotubes [PDF]
, 2017 Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is a neuromuscular disease characterized by the loss of lower motor neurons. SBMA is caused by expansions of a polyglutamine tract in the gene coding for androgen receptor (AR).

Functional selectivity of GPCR-directed drug action through location bias. [PDF]
, 2017 G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are increasingly recognized to operate from intracellular membranes as well as the plasma membrane. The β 2 -adrenergic GPCR can activate G s -linked cyclic AMP (G s -cAMP) signaling from endosomes.

Prolonged β-Agonist Infusion Does Not Induce Desensitization or Down-Regulation of β-Adrenergic Receptors in Newborn Sheep [PDF]
Pediatric Research, 1992 In adult animals, prolonged beta-agonist exposure leads to down-regulation of beta-adrenergic receptors and desensitization. Prior evidence from our lab suggests that this may not occur in developing animals. To study this, we measured the response to graded epinephrine infusion [2.7, 5.5, 13.6, 27.3 mumol/(kg.min), (0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 micrograms/(kg ...

Mirtazapine decreases stimulatory effects of reboxetine on cortisol, adrenocorticotropin and prolactin secretion in healthy male subjects [PDF]
, 2004 Reboxetine is a selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor, whereas mirtazapine acts as an antagonist at noradrenergic alpha(2), serotonin (5-HT2), 5-HT3 and histamine H-1 receptors.
