note = "To gain insight into a role for excessive B-adrenergic receptor stimulation in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, MRL/1pr mice were chronically injected with isoproterenol. The mean change of serum antibody levels after one month of treatment was higher in the isoproterenol treated mice than in controls (anti-ssDNA, p 0.05; anti-nDNA, p 0.04; and antiguanosine antibodies, p 0.03) without significant differences in serum IgG levels.",
