Term
should you discountinue if you see distensitazation ?
Definition
NO. Becaucse receptors may be supersensitize.
Term
desensitization
Definition
1-due to change in the location that makes the hormone
2- change in receptor structure
Term
Potentiation
Definition
oppose the effect of desensitization
Term
supersensetization
Definition
lack of hormone or presense of inhobitor
Term
responsivness decreases
Definition
E max dec. no change in EC 50
Term
response to reseptor is a known function :T or False
Definition
False :it is unkown
Term
psartial agonist no sprae receptors
Definition
you dont spare receptors: you wont get the max effect
Term
agonist with spare receptors
Definition
you get increase response
Term
Antagonist
Definition
you get flat line bottim of the curve. no response ......... Dead :X
Term
Do not mix affinity with efficacy
Definition
OKOKOKOK
Term
Higher affinity means higher efficacy : true or False>?
Definition
False
Term
From the substance receptor complex that shows the affinity of the receptor you cant tell if the substance is agonist, antagonist, partial agonist !!!
Definition
Affinity and Efficacy are indep. parameters
Term
from the decrease in the EC50 alone (same E max) you can't tell if the substance is competative inhibitor or non competative inhibitor. GOT ITTTTT
Definition
yes TRUE .....look at the graph
Term
both competative and non competative inhibitor will inhibit (decrease response) an endogenous hormon : T F?
Definition
True.
Term
inverse agonist = negative efficacy
Definition
mutation , virus, binds to receptor turn it off, negative efficacy.
Term
which plot do you use to interpret cooperativity?
Definition
HILL PLOT
Term
positive cooperativty
Definition
slope of hill plot is more steep =greater than 1.... you need less of the hormone for the unoccupied receptor.
Term
Negative cooperativity
Definition
slope of hill plot is negative. you need more hormone for the unoccupied receptor to cause the same effect.
Term
positve coperativity for a receptor of a drug ....you need more drug or less drug to get to a desired response?
Definition
you need less drug .
Term
if the hormone binds to heterogenous receptor the plot looks like?
Definition
the plot of binding will look like negative cooperativity.
Term
what if you cant distinguish between negative coop and heretrogenity????
Definition
Apparent negative cooperativity.
Term
repeated or continuous exposure of a cell to hormon dimonishes the response to subsequence dose
Definition
desensitization, refractoriness, tachyphalaxis
Term
Homologous desensitization
Definition
it is specific to one hormone
Term
Heterologous desensitization
Definition
desensitization towards multiple hormones... act on diff receptors but have same effect
