Summary
Receptor Upregulation
is a
Cellular Response
to
Decreased stimulation
, where the number or
Sensitivity of receptors
on the
Cell surface
increases to enhance
Signal Reception
. This process can affect
Drug Efficacy
and contribute to tolerance, withdrawal, and
Disease States
by altering
Cellular responsiveness
to hormones, neurotransmitters, or drugs.
