Abstract
In an effort to clarify the basis for the reduced cyclic AMP response to catecholamines in leukocytes and lymphocytes from asthmatic donors the response of these cells to prostaglandins has been examined. Cells with an impaired beta adrenergic response had an essentially unaltered response to prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) indicating the presence of selective beta adrenergic blockade. In contrast to what was observed with cells from asthmatic individuals, in normal control leukocytes with reduced catecholamine responsiveness PGE1 responses were usually reduced as well, suggesting a different mechanism. The excellent cyclic AMP response to PGE1 in cells from asthmatic donors would suggest that the defect in catecholamine responsiveness is at the level of the beta adrenergic receptor although a contributory role of altered substrate concentrations or increased phosphodiesterase activity is not formally excluded.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
