The Gly16 Allele of the G16R Single Nucleotide Polymorphism in the β2-Adrenergic Receptor Gene Augments the Glycemic Response to Adrenaline in Humans

The Gly16 Allele of the G16R Single Nucleotide Polymorphism in the β2-Adrenergic Receptor Gene Augments the Glycemic Response to Adrenaline in Humans

Cerebral non-oxidative carbohydrate consumption may be driven by a β2-adrenergic mechanism. This study tested whether the 46G > A (G16R) single nucleotide polymorphism of the β2-adrenergic receptor gene (ADRB2) influences the metabolic and cerebrovascular responses to administration of adrena...
