ADRB1 Adrenergic Receptor <strong>beta</strong>-1 14.5 0.044<br />

• Adrenaline – related to stress deeply, a<br />

hormone, increases heart rate, contracts<br />

blood vessels, etc.<br />

• Adrenergic receptor - 2 main groups, α<br />

and β, with several subtypes<br />

• Adrenergic Receptor <strong>beta</strong>-2 antagonist<br />

accelerates <strong>skin</strong> barrier recovery and<br />

reduces epidermal hyperplasia induced<br />

by barrier disruption (JID 2003)<br />

• Adrenergic Receptor <strong>beta</strong>-2 UVB<br />

irradiation increases adrenaline release<br />

by keratinocytes, which can streng<strong>the</strong>n<br />
