Chemistry Nobel Goes To Scientists Who Studied Body's Receptors. October 10, 2012 7:00 AM ET. By . Mark Memmott ... among those a receptor for adrenalin: β-adrenergic receptor.

Certain areas called adrenergic receptors receive the messages from epinephrine and norepinephrine that tell your body how to respond. Adrenergic drugs also interact with these receptors. They can ...

Beta-adrenergic signaling mechanisms are of central importance to cardiovascular health and disease. Modulation of these pathways represents an important pharmacologic approach to the treatment of ...

Essentially, epinephrine targets a mix of alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors, which are widely distributed throughout the body, said Corinne Keet, MD, PhD, a pediatric allergist and immunologist ...

Background: The β2-adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) plays a major role in regulating energy expenditure by stimulating lipid metabolism in human adipose tissue. Polymorphisms in the ADRB2 gene have ...

OBJECTIVE: To examine the role of the Trp64Arg polymorphism in the β3-adrenergic receptor gene and the β3-adrenergic receptor gene locus in obesity-related traits in African Americans. SUBJECTS ...

A novel GPS NMR method enabled precise tracking of motions within the β 1-adrenergic GPCR, revealing that the receptor exists in a dynamic equilibrium among inactive, preactive, and active states.

Individuals with some forms of heart failure are treated with drugs that are known as beta-blockers because they target proteins known as beta-adrenergic receptors (beta-ARs). Now, a potential ...

The β2-adrenergic receptor mediates the body’s responses to epinephrine and norepinephrine and is critical in the normal functioning of the heart, lungs, and kidneys, amongst other organs.

Kaech and colleagues described their study in a report titled “The β1-adrenergic receptor links sympathetic nerves to T cell exhaustion,” in which they noted, “our results establish a ...
