Reciprocal Relationships Between the Neuroendocrine System and Lymphoid Cells
… in a two-fold increase in glucocorticoid and (beta)-adrenergic receptors with no change in the binding affinity of the receptor. Similarly, cortisol increases the number of (beta)-adrenoceptors on non-stimulated splenocytes. Cortisol prevents the concanavalin A-induced increase in …

Analysis of treatment of respiratory disease in the United Kingdom and United States
… for combination therapy with ICS and long-acting beta agonist (LABA) inhalers. Therapy for asthma demonstrated some unanticipated trends, with widespread use of high-dose combination therapy in up to one-third of patients and a lack of standardised therapy approach by clinicians at step 2/3. For …

Effects of arbutamine stress testing compared to treadmill exercise stress testing on electrocardiographic responses of ischemia and myocardial oxygen demand
… of incremental doses of arbutamine(ESA), a new beta-agonist pharmacologic stress agent, with exercise(ETT). Ten volunteers, mean age 66 years, with known or suspected coronary artery disease completed a symptom-limited ESA and ETT(modified Naughton protocol) to 85% of their age predicted maximum …

Cellular Mechanisms of Resveratrol's Interaction with Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species Metabolism
… in the presence of an estrogen receptor antagonist. Resveratrol's effects can be replicated with the specific estrogen receptor beta agonist diarylpropionitrile, and are absent in myoblasts lacking estrogen receptor beta. Four compounds that are structurally similar to resveratrol and seven …

FHL2 Inhibits Calcineurin and Represses Pathological Cardiac Hypertrophy
… of FHL2 leads to an exaggerated response to beta-agonist (isoproterenol)-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Isoproterenol-induced hypertrophy relies on activation of the calcineurin-NFAT pathway, and inhibition of calcineurin is sufficient to block growth in response to isoproterenol. I also …

Explanatory Power of the Behavior Model of Utilization for Pediatric Asthma Health Care in an Urban Managed Care Setting
… were significantly less likely to use beta-agonist medications than participants not enrolled in the program.</p> <p>Study results also revealed that the asthma management program was the only significant predictor variable across all health services outcome measures, when holding the …

Effects of feeding ractopamine hydrochloride in combination with zinc or chromium on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality of finishing steers
… to improve efficiency and profitability. Beta adrenergic agonists are one such technology and are a class of feed additives that have been widely fed by the feedlot industry in the last decade. One product available on the market is ractopamine hydrochloride (RAC), a beta-agonist that acts …

Effects of ractopamine hydrochloride on nutrient digestibility, environmental N excretion, regulation of skeletal muscle growth, and beta-receptor subtypes in finishing beef steers
Beta-adrenergic agonists such as ractopamine hydrochloride (Actogain, Zoetis, Parsippany, NJ) are growth-promoting technologies that when fed at the end of the finishing period in cattle act as repartitioning agents, redirecting energy toward protein accretion and away from lipid deposition. …
