The sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomic nervous system has the following functions:

The autonomic nervous system
Blue = parasympathetic
Red = sympathetic
  • Diverts blood flow away from the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract and skin via vasoconstriction.
  • Blood flow to skeletal muscles, the lung is not only maintained, but enhanced (by as much as 1200%, in the case of skeletal muscles).
  • Dilates bronchioles of the lung, which allows for greater alveolar oxygen exchange.
  • Increases heart rate and the contractility of cardiac cells (myocytes), thereby providing a mechanism for the enhanced blood flow to skeletal muscles.
  • Dilates pupils and relaxes the lens, allowing more light to enter the eye.

Molecular biology

The pharmacogenetics of adrenergic beta-antagonist medications have been reviewed.[1]

Adrenergic receptor

For more information, see: adrenergic receptor.

Polymorphisms of the adrenergic receptor may affect clinical outcomes.[2]

Genetic polymorphisms of beta-1 (ADRB1) may affect the response to adrenergic beta-antagonist treatment of heart failure.[3]

Genetic polymorphisms of alpha-2C (ADRA2C) may affect the response to adrenergic beta-antagonist treatment of heart failure.[4]

G-protein-coupled receptor kinase

For more information, see: G-protein-coupled receptor kinase.

Polymorphisms of G-protein-coupled receptor kinase (GRK5) may underlie racial differences in the affect of treatment of heart failure.[5] There is conflicting evidence whether beta-blockers medications are as effective in African-American patients as in Anglo patients.[6] GRK5 may confer a natural "genetic beta-blockade".[7]

G protein–coupled cell surface receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) genetic polymorphisms may also affect the response to adrenergic beta-antagonists.[8]

Genetic polymorphisms of the protein kinase associated with β-2 adrenergic receptors may affect the response in asthma to adrenergic beta-agonists by patients of African descent.[9]

Cytochrome P-450

For more information, see: cytochrome P-450.

Polymorphisms of the cytochrome P-450, such as CYp2D6[10], are eligible for more drug interactions[11][12] and more inherited variation in metabolism[13].[14]
