the presence of specific beta-adrenergic receptors functionally coupled to the adenylate cyclase system and the marked changes in receptor capacity and distribution measured during the different physiological states of the mammary gland suggest that the mammary beta-adrenergic receptors are highly sensitive to changes in the hormonal milieu and provide a mechanism for a direct catecholaminergic influence on mammary gland growth and differentiation .
