Q

alcohol inhibits/simulates GABA-DA(inhibitory) and NMDA-glutamate(stimulatory) pathways?

A

stimulates GABA and inhibits NMDA
with time GABA down regulates and NMDA upregulates which precipitates withdrawal sx
“downreg the inhibitory and upreg the excitatory _ w/drawal = BAD”

Q

rank Vd of alcohol, and why
male female obese

A

obese–> female–> male (highest)
alcohol distributes into TBW and lean, not fat. obese patients have dec TBW, females have more fat than males and a lower Vd compared to a male

20
Q

who would get the highest BAC on the same beverage, all weigh 160lb
1. obese male who has not eaten all day
2. male who works out regularly and had light lunch
3. male drinking in the morning after no breakfast and going to the gym like he does 5x/week

A
