The [[Adrenergic receptor|adrenergic receptors]] are metabolic G protein-coupled receptors. They are the targets of catecholamines. The binding of an agonist to them causes a sympathetic response.<br /> | |||
* The α-2 adrenergic receptor (A2AR) inhibits insulin or glucagons release.<br /> | |||
* The β-1 adrenergic receptor (B1AR) increases cardiac output and secretion of rennin and ghrelin.<ref>PMID:23435379</ref><br /> | |||
* The β-2 adrenergic receptor (B2AR) triggers many relaxation reactions. | |||
