In order to study the density and response to dynamic exercise of lymphocyte beta 2-adrenoceptors in essential hypertension, 30 moderate essential hypertensives (12 men: 18 women, mean age 50.3 +/- 9.2 years) and 14 normotensive controls (8 men: 7 women, mean age 47 +/- 15 years) were studied. Beta 2-adrenoceptors density in basal conditions was higher in essential hypertensives than in controls (1950 +/- 625 vs 1278 +/- 356 binding sites per cell [bs/c], respectively, p less than 0.01) (mean +/- SD). After dynamic exercise beta 2-adrenoceptors density increased both in controls (to 1491 +/- 342 bs/c, p less than 0.01) and in hypertensives (to 2632 +/- 715 bs/c, p less than 0.001). However, the percentage of increase after the exercise was significantly higher in hypertensives than in controls (40.5 +/- 6.1 vs 20.2 +/- 6.5%, p less than 0.05). In summary, the higher density in basal conditions, as well as the exaggerated increase in the number of beta 2-adrenoceptors after dynamic exercise observed in essential hypertension, suggest an impaired regulation of these receptors in essential hypertension.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
