Beryllium sensitization progresses to chronic beryllium disease: a longitudinal study of disease risk.

abstract：:Previous study of adrenergic control of the tracheal vasculature in rats (1) demonstrated that beta-adrenergic blockade heightened arteriolar and large venular contractile responses to norepinephrine, a nonselective alpha-adrenergic agonist. The present study was undertaken to confirm the presence of functional beta-a...
