Receptor RegulationReceptor Regulation Up regulation of receptors:Up regulation of receptors:
– In tonically active systems, prolonged In tonically active systems, prolonged deprivation of agonist (by denervation deprivation of agonist (by denervation or antagonist) results in supersensitivity or antagonist) results in supersensitivity of the receptor as well as to effector of the receptor as well as to effector system to the agonist. Sudden system to the agonist. Sudden discontinuation of Propranolol, Clonidine discontinuation of Propranolol, Clonidine etc.etc.
