ABSTRACT THE fact that adrenaline can act differently in various organs has often been explained by assuming that there are different kinds of receptors1. A simpler explanation of these differences in adrenaline action is that a single receptor, influenced in different ways by the different metabolic milieu in various organs, is sufficient to interpret all kinds of adrenaline effects. If this assumption is correct, the well defined receptor quality of the adrenaline effect, as tested by the effectiveness of different types of receptor blocking agents, can be transformed into another receptor quality in one organ, by changing its metabolic milieu.
