“…In hypertension the relative abundances of β 1 and β 2 AR are inverted. In experimental 15 and human hypertension 14 there is a down‐regulation of β 1 AR and an up‐regulation of the β 2 AR subtype. These modifications have been related to alterations in the sympathetic discharge, which can be corrected by ACE inhibitors 15 .…”

“…Under experimental conditions, transgenic overexpression of α 1B AR 9 and β 1 AR 10 and high levels of β 2 AR 11 in the heart, as well as long‐term stimulation of αAR 12 or βAR 13 by means of selective drugs, cause enlargement of cardiac size. Under physiologic conditions, β 2 AR in the heart is relatively less abundant, but in hypertension, as well as in other cardiovascular conditions, this receptor is up‐regulated during concomitant down‐regulation of β 1 AR 14 , 15 . β 2 AR is also polymorphic, with 3 variants in particular that cause changes in the amino acid sequence and alteration in regulation of signal transduction.…”
