Q

where are adenosine receptors usually found

A

presynaptic

19
Q

what are the two main adenosine receptor tagrets of caffine

A

A1 and A2a

20
Q

what are the two main adenosine receptor tagrets of caffine

A

A1 and A2a

21
Q

how does A1 work

A

decrease AC, decrease cAMP, decrease NT, reward hippocsampus

22
Q

how does A2A work

A

increase AC, increase cAMP, increase NT, GABA DA-ERGIC

23
Q

what are the common receptor pairs

A

2A2a + 2D2 and A1 +a2a

24
Q

how does low dose vs high dose caffeine affect the heart

A

low = decrease
high= increase

25
Q

which NT are affected by caffeine

A

NE, glu, DA

26
Q

how are longterm users affected in terms of HR and BP

A

less

27
Q

how does caffeine affect the kidney

A

diuretic

28
Q

how does caffeine affects on PDE affect cAMP

A

increase cAMP

29
Q

describe effects on smooth muscle caused by PDE inhibition

A

vasodilation in periphery but central vasocontraction

30
Q

how does caffeine affect ca

A

increase , increase workcapacity by nuscle

31
Q

how is caffeine reinforced

A

DA and Glu in Nac by blocking A1

32
Q

what kind of receptor is A1

A

GI/o

33
Q

describe wakefulness by GABA systerms

A

stimukation of A2a triggers GABA which inhibits wakefulness
caffeine inhibits these GABA

1A is fast, 1F is slow

37
Q

how many copies of fast and slow

A

2 fast, at least one slow

38
Q

who shows the most dose depdent risk of caffeine

A

slow

39
Q

which affects does tolerance develop for

A

CARDIOM, RESP, SLEEP BUT NOT MOOD

HOW DOES caffeiune cause osteoporsosis

A

increaed ca elimnination

41
Q

how can adenosine atangonist be anti-depressants

A

regulating synaptic NT

42
Q

what is a nootopric

A

perofmance enhancer

43
Q

HOW DOES caffeine effect memory

A

BDNF and trkb in hippo

44
