Abstract:Increased circulating catecholamines released from the sympathetic nervous system, selectively activate immune cell receptors, modulating their inflammatory response to stress, injury or environmental toxins. Human monocytic THP‐1 cells were used to measure expression of inflammatory mediators responding to β‐adrenergic receptor (AR) activation in the presence or absence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Results from antibody arrays demonstrated that effective concentrations of the selective β‐AR agonist isoprotere… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
