In this paper, the distribution of pulmonary beta-adrenergic receptors (beta-receptors) in normal and experimental allergic asthmatic guinea pigs was determined using autoradiographic method. The results showed that the distribution of beta-receptors in the lung sections was widespread. There was a significant decrease of beta-receptor density in several tissue structures of asthmatic guinea pig lungs compared with the controls, a 23.73% decrease in beta-receptor binding sites in bronchiolar smooth muscles and a 18.65% decrease in bronchial smooth muscles; a 23.53%, a 14.23% and a 17.16% decrease in bronchiolar epithelium, in bronchial epithelium and in alveolar epithelium respectively. The results indicated that the beta-receptor decrease in smooth muscles in experimental asthmatic guinea pig lungs might be one of the important factors which made the tension of smooth muscles increase. The relationship between the beta-receptor decrease of other sites and bronchial asthma needs to be studied further.
