[Adrenergic receptors of the bronchoalveolar system in the obstructive syndrome].
Alpha and beta adrenergic receptors of the lower airways play a role in obstructive airway diseases. These receptors intervene not only in the contraction of the smooth bronchial muscle, but also in mucus secretion, mucociliary clearance and vascular permeability. The pathology of the receptors responsible for perturbations corresponding to these different functions is involved in the pathogenesis of obstructive airway diseases.
