Example sentences for: beta-adrenergic

How can you use “beta-adrenergic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The failure of the beta-blocker to prevent hypertrophy suggests that, if the sympathetic nervous system is a causal agent in the development of this form of hypertrophy, the signaling mechanism is not mediated by the beta-adrenergic receptor.
Similarly, Tse [ 48 ] found that in compensated hypertrophy the population of beta-adrenergic receptors is relatively normal, but in heart failure, the beta receptors have both down-regulated and de-sensitized.
However, even in transgenic animal models overexpressing alpha receptors, the beta-adrenergic receptor appears to play an important role in hypertrophy development and the transition to heart failure [ 34 35 ] . Regardless of which receptors are involved in the various forms of hypertrophy, the sympathetic nervous system does appear to play a role in most, if not all, forms of cardiac hypertrophy, and much remains to be done in this area [ 36 ] .
For example, Engelhardt [ 46 ] , in a study of mice genetically bred with an increase in beta-adrenergic receptor density, showed that increased contractility was an initial response, but by 35 weeks contractility was reduced by 50% and ejection fraction by 20%.
However, our finding that a daily injection of the beta-blocker propanolol does not prevent the development of iron deficient cardiac hypertrophy suggests that beta-adrenergic sympathetic stimulation may not be a causal agent in the development of hypertrophy.
