22
Q

All adrenoceptors are G-protein-couple receptors. Binding of an agonist to different types of adrenoceptor involves different second messengers. Which of the following represents the effect of agonist binding to alpha-1 (B) and which to beta receptors (A)

A
  • α1 receptors activatephospholipaseC (via Gq), increasing the activity ofprotein kinase C(PKC)
  • α2 receptors inhibit adenylate cyclase (via Gi), decreasing the activity ofprotein kinase A(PKA)
  • β receptors activate adenylate cyclase (via Gs), increasing the activity of protein kinase A(PKA)
23
Q

what happens at alpha 2 receptors

A

inhibition of catecholamine release (inhibition of adenylyl cyclase

24
Q

what effect does catecholamine have on energy substrates

A

mobilise substrates of remediate energy, glycogenolysis gluconeogenesis and lipolysis

25
Q

which arm of the autonomic nervous system is the adrenal gland associated

A

sympathetic
