 Neurotransmitter Dysregulation
Downregulation is also known to occur in the acetylcholinergic system and indeed has been cited as a factor that must be considered with respect to drug interactions in military personnel who have taken PB and who may require drugs as part of surgery for traumatic injury (Keeler, 1990).
Tolerance (net "downregulation" of the system--though not of the receptors) results if the increase in receptor number is exceeded by the increase in number of receptors that are inactivated (Collins and Marks, 1988)--otherwise stated, if the increase in receptor binding by nicotine is more than offset by a loss in effect of binding.
"Downregulation" appears to be a common compensatory phenomenon in the face of pharmacologically heightened signaling, as a mechanism to counteract excessive nerve signaling.

 Downregulation of c-kit Expression in Human Endothelial Cells by Inflammatory Stimuli -- König et al. 90 (1): 148 ...
In contrast to the downregulation of c-kit, SCF mRNA was upregulated in response to IL-1
This downregulation of the receptor protein might indicate a temporarily arrest of an autocrine mechanism to maintain a steady state of SCF for hematopoietic homeostasis.
Therefore, downregulation of c-kit during the state of inflammation could also reflect the release of the protein from the cell surface of the endothelial cell into the serum and act as a local regulator of SCF.

 Addiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The human body has a natural tendency to maintain homeostasis, and the central nervous system is no exception.
Chronic elevation of dopamine will result in a decrease in the number of dopamine receptors available in a process known as downregulation.
The decreased number of receptors changes the permeability of the cell membrane located post-synaptically, such that the post-synaptic neuron is less excitable- i.e.: less able to respond to chemical signaling with an electrical impulse, or action potential.

 AEGiS-03CROI: Downregulation of CD4 by HIV-1 env and vpu.
Both Env and Vpu were required for downregulation of CD4 as mutants in either gene failed to downregulate CD4.
When high and low CD4-expressing cells were separated by FACS, each subpopulation gave rise to a mixture of high and low CD4-expressing cells after several days in culture, indicating that CD4 levels varied over time in individual cells or their progeny.
Dual FACS analysis for CD4 and Vpu showed that CD4 downregulation was only seen in cells with the highest Vpu levels.

It is a possible in many cases for the receptors of a cell to be sensitized or desensitized to a drug or hormone, independently of the number of receptors.
