Role of β2-Adrenoreceptors in Adrenergic Anti-Inflammatory Mechanism in Sepsis

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Experiments on random-bred albino mice showed that of β2-adrenoreceptor agonist hexaprenaline sulfate significantly reduced mortality of mice from experimental sepsis (intraperitoneal administration of E. coli) in 4 and 24 h after modeling by reducing blood levels of proinflammatory cytokines TNFα, IL-1β, and IL-6. The antagonist of β2AR ICI-118,551 eliminated this effect.
