The phrase "adaptation of receptor" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to biology, neuroscience, or pharmacology when discussing how receptors adjust or change in response to stimuli or conditions.
Example: "The adaptation of receptor sensitivity is crucial for maintaining homeostasis in the body."
Alternatives: "receptor adjustment" or "receptor modification".
Hypothetically, dysregulation of receptors in the growth system could also be responsible; adaptation of receptors could contribute to tolerance to growth inhibition over time and to catch-up growth after the medication has been discontinued.
Increased voluntary alcohol drinking to sustain the biological availability of 5-HT in the ACCS is associated with the adaptation of 5-HT2C receptor functions as evidenced by increased 5-HT2C expressinn in the ACC (Figs 1G, 2C and 3C).
Adaptation of the receptor-binding preference from α2,3- to α2,6-linked sialic acid is an essential step for an avian influenza virus to transmit efficiently in human population and become a pandemic virus.
The apparent relaxation of negative selection on distal pocket sites may reflect the adaptation of these receptors to recognize different amino acids or their derivatives.
Bushnell et al. (1995) demonstrated a phenomenon of tolerance to repeated doses of chlorpyrifos (OPs) in rats due to the synaptic adaptation of muscarinic receptors (down-regulation).
This effect subsequently wears off, which may be related to the adaptation of CCK receptors (23, 24) and may explain why we did not see an increase in basal CCK levels with colesevelam.
Accordingly, to investigate the odorant-specificity of the putative cyclohexanone receptor, we used exposure to low levels of cyclohexanone to drive adaptation of the putative receptor's response, followed by challenge with a test odorant.
Because of receptor adaptation, the amplitude varied during each treatment.
The toy model described above shows that a combination of receptor adaptation (modeled as down-regulation) and receptor-mediated chemotaxis can give rise to autonomous oscillations in the presence of a suitable static chemokine field.
