to investigate the effect of glucocorticoids on beta-agonist-induced desensitization , we studied the effect of a single intravenous dose of methylprednisolone ( 2 mg/kg ) on beta-receptor density and affinity in lymphocytes from four normal and four mildly asthmatic subjects at the end of 3 to 5 wk of terbutaline therapy and from four normal subjects taking no other drug .
