Abstract:
The beta adrenergic receptors are exposed to variety of factors modulating their activity. We analyzed the sensitivity to Salbutamol in asthmatic patients divided into three group (I-30 yr; II-30-50 yr; III-50 yr). The effectiveness of beta adrenergic receptors was assessed by means of estimation of plasma cAMP level before and after Salbutamol infusion. We didn't found any significant differences in plasma cAMP changes between investigated group of patients.
