Mnemonic: How Beta and Alpha Receptors effect on Insulin and Renin

Mnemonic: How Beta and Alpha Receptors effect on Insulin and Renin Release

Always think Beta = Booster; which means stimulation of:
  • Beta 1 receptors -> increase renin secretion
  • Beta 2 receptors -> increase insulin secretion
And for Alpha receptors it’s the reverse, which means stimulation of:
  • Alpha 1 receptors -> decrease renin secretion
  • Alpha 2 receptors -> decrease insulin secretion

Beta & Alpha 1 for renin
Beta & Alpha 2 for insulin
