Journal ArticleDOI

Surface interaction of [3H]norepinephrine with cultured chick embryo myocardial cells

TL;DR: Cultured chick embryo cardiac myoblasts specifically bind [ 3 H]nonrepinephrine, rapid and reversible, and the sites appear to be present predominantly at the cell surface in that nonREPinephrine linked to agarose beads competes for th sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

The β-arrestin-biased β-adrenergic receptor blocker carvedilol enhances skeletal muscle contractility

TL;DR: Chronic treatment with carvedilol, but not other β-blockers, indeed enhances contractile force in skeletal muscle and this is mediated by β-arrestin 1, and this distinctive signaling profile could present an innovative approach to treating sarcopenia, frailty, and secondary muscle wasting.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impaired formation of beta-adrenergic receptor-nucleotide regulatory protein complexes in pseudohypoparathyroidism.

TL;DR: In vitro findings in erythrocytes taken together with the recent observations that in vivo isoproterenol-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity is decreased in patients with PHP are consistent with the notion that N is a bifunctional protein interacting with both R and the adanine nucleotide regulatory protein.
