There have recently been important advances in our understanding of the molecular
structure and regulation of l3-adrenoceptors, which have implications for the elucidating l3-
adrenergic receptor function in airway disease and the mechanisms of action of l3-
adrenoceptor agonists. At least three l3-adrenoceptors are now recognized (Thble I). 13,-
Receptors, which are preferentially activated by norepinephrine, are physiologically
regulated by sympathetic nerves; 132-receptors, preferentially regulated by circulating
