An assay for beta-adrenergic receptors in isolated human fat cells.
The beta-adrenergic receptors have been characterized in isolated human adipocytes using a potent beta-adrenergic antagonist (-)-[3H]dihydroalprenolol. Binding of (-)-[3H]dihydroalprenolol to isolated fat cells was stereospecific and saturable, the maximum number of binding sites calculated being 7....
