The role of β2 adrenergic receptor on infection development after ischaemic stroke

Mechanisms underlying post-stroke immune impairments and subsequent development of fatal lung infection have been suggested to involve multiple pathways, including hyperactivation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), which results in the excessive release of catecholamines and activation of β-ad...
