Adrenergic beta-receptor sensitivity of six male patients with essential tremor and six age-matched normal controls was assessed by measuring the response in the heart rate and postural tremor to incremental injections of the adrenergic beta-agonist isoprenaline. The relative increase in heart rate and tremor in essential tremor patients did not differ from that in normal controls. It is concluded that no major abnormality is likely to exist in the peripheral adrenergic beta-receptor sensitivity in essential tremor.
通过测量肾上腺素能β激动剂异丙肾上腺素递增注射后心率和姿势性震颤的反应，评估了6名特发性震颤男性患者和6名年龄匹配的正常对照者的肾上腺素能β受体敏感性。特发性震颤患者心率和震颤的相对增加与正常对照者无差异。结论是，特发性震颤患者外周肾上腺素能β受体敏感性可能不存在重大异常。
