Summary Introduction

To write:

The opposite response on the effector protein, adenylyl cyclase, produced by the binding of epinephrine to β-adrenergic and α-adrenergic types of receptors. The effect of the addition of the β-adrenergic receptor as an agonist or antagonist on the activity of adenylyl cyclase.

Introduction:

Adenylyl cyclase is an enzyme which catalyzes the cyclic AMP formation from ATP. β-adrenergic is the medications which relax airways muscles. These widen the airways and the effect is that the breathing becomes easier. While the α-adrenergic are a type of sympathomimetic mediators which selectively triggers the a adrenergic receptors.
