Question
Chapter 19, Problem 35RA
Summary Introduction
To review:
1. The location and the physiological significance of B3-adrenergic receptors.
2. The role of B3-adrenergic agonist drug in the treatment of obesity.
Introduction:
The adrenergic receptors belong to the class of G-protein coupled receptors that are present in the plasma membrane. Catecholamines such as norepinephrine and epinephrine target these adrenergic receptors. These receptors are of two types namely- the alpha and the beta-adrenergic receptors.
