Popis: Ability of blood sera from 19 asthmatic children and 56 asthmatic adults to modify reactivity of β-adrenoreceptors and M-cholinoreceptors in isolated smooth muscles of the uterus horns from nonpregnant rats (n = 234) and cow trachea (n = 36) have shown that asthma presence did not change serum myocyte-stimulating activity but reduced the sensitizing activity of β-adrenoreceptors and the blocking activity of M-cholinoreceptors and enhanced the blocking activity of β-adrenoreceptors. The similar changes were also seen in child urine and indicated the decreased level of the endogenous sensitizer of β-adrenoreceptors and the growing level of the endogenous blocker of β-adrenoreceptors in asthma patients and the decreased level of endogenous blocker of M-cholinoreceptors in certain asthmatics. These events could provide asthma occurrence.
