Andrenoreceptor Agonists until Selective B-1 Flashcards
Location of Catecholamines
Sympathetic post-ganglionic neuron
Adrenal Medulla (Chromaffin Cells)
Central Nervous System
Gs has a stimulatory effect on Adenylyl Cyclase as a result,
it increases cAMP
Gi has inhibitory effect on Adenylyl Cyclase as a result,
it decreases cAmp
Gq activation will release Phospholipase C which will synthesize DAG and IP3 as a result,
it will facilitate the release of calcium from the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
SR, CM, and Ca++ - CM means
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum, Calmodulin, Calcium-Calmodulin Complex
MLC, MLCK, MLCP means
Myosin Light Chain, Myosin Light Chain Kinase, Myosin Light Chain Phosphatase
cAMP and cGMP means
Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate, Cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate
IP3, DAG, and NO means
Inositol Triphosphate, Diacylglycerol, Nitric Oxide
