Pregunta 6
Pregunta
Repeated doses of general anaesthetic such as thiopental can cause a fatal dose because of accumulation, or "tissue binding" in adipose tissue.
Pregunta 7
Pregunta
1st pass metabolism describes what phenomenon?
Respuesta
-
When the concentration of a drug available to the systemic circulation (it's bioavailability) is significantly reduced because it is metabolised by the liver before it reaches the systemic circulation.

Pregunta 18
Pregunta
With a pKa value of 9.7, and the equation NH3+ -> NH2 + H+ , at pH 9 what species will dominate?
Pregunta 19
Pregunta
What graph correctly depicts the dose response curve?
Pregunta 20
Pregunta
Response is proportional to occupancy
Pregunta 21
Pregunta
The maximum response cannot be attained when a competitive reversible antagonist is present.
Pregunta 22
Pregunta
In the presence of a competitive reversible antagonist, how is the dose response curve shifted?
Pregunta 23
Pregunta
An irreversible antagonist means that the maximum response can never be reached.
Pregunta 24
Pregunta
How is the dose response curve shifted in the presence of an irreversible antagonist?
Pregunta 25
Pregunta
Irreversible antagonists cause a decrease in the maximal response when spare receptors are not present.
Pregunta 26
Pregunta
Prolonged exposure to a drug reduces the bodies response to it.
Pregunta 27
Pregunta
Without spare receptors, non-competitive antagonists can reduce the maximal response (Emax).
Pregunta 28
Pregunta
When a non-competitive antagonist is used in the presence of spare receptors, the dose response curve shifts left.
Pregunta 29
Pregunta
Non-competitive antagonists do not compete for the agonist binding site.
Pregunta 30
Pregunta
Irreversible antagonists reduce the number of available receptors.
Pregunta 31
Pregunta
The dose response curve of an irreversible agonist is shifted down because the maximal response is decreased.
Pregunta 32
Pregunta

Pregunta
An integral tyrosine kinase can be activated and then phosphorylates a target molecule such as an enzyme.
Pregunta 34
Pregunta
Lipophobic molecules can cross the PM and NM and bind to steroid receptors e.g. to boost transcription.
Pregunta 35
Pregunta
G-protein coupled receptors have ATPase activity that turns their activity off.
Pregunta 36
Pregunta
Cytokine receptors activate JAK that can phosphorylate targets and lead to signal pathways.
