Summary

This longitudinal mechanistic physiological study examines biased β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) signaling in human skeletal muscle, with emphasis on G protein-coupled receptor kinase (GRK)-mediated pathways. Participants will receive daily oral dosing of the GRK-selective long-acting β2-agonist ATR-258 for 8 weeks. Muscle biopsies and physiological measurements will quantify GRK-, cAMP/PKA-, and β-arrestin-related signaling, fiber-type specificity, and potential receptor desensitization with repeated stimulation.
