Abstract: | A number of β-adrenoceptor blocking agents were tested for isoprenaline antogonism on rat adipose cells. The pA2 values were compared to pA2 values determined previously on guinea-pig atrial and tracheal preparations. Discrepancies between the results obtained and the hypothesis of Lands et al. (Nature, 214 (1967) 597) concenring the existence of two types of β-receptors are discussed. The classification of the lipolytic β-receptors as a β1-receptor is questioned and another hypothesis is put forward. |
