title: Beta-adrenergic receptor adaptation after an acute exercise in rat myocardium.
abstract: An acute dynamic exercise provokes the translocation of beta-adrenergic receptors (beta-AR) from light vesicle fractions to sarcolemmal membranes in rat myocardium. However, 15 min after an acute exercise the density of beta-AR in both fractions returned to the pre-exercise level. The mean maximal activity of adenylate cyclase in response to isoproterenol roughly paralleled the redistribution of beta-AR. The dose-response curves, however, were substantially shifted to the right with increase in EC50 for isoproterenol stimulation of adenylate cyclase. Thus, the sensitivity of sarcolemmal beta-AR was found to be blunted 15 min afterwards.
