drug interactions with exercise Flashcards
explain the plasma insulin levels at rest and during exercise
exercise>rest
what are the mechanisms that can contribute to exercise-induced hypoglycaemia
- accelerated insulin absorption from sites near exercising muscles
- exercise-mediated enhancement of insulin action
- lack of decline in insulin secretion during exercise
what are the mechanisms that can contribute to exercise-induced hyperglycaemia
- excessive carbohydrate supplementation
- too large a reduction in insulin dose prior to exercise
explain the plasma GTN levels at rest and during exercise
exercise>rest
what are the mechanisms that contribute to the increased plasma levels of GTN with exercise
- increased skin blood flow
- increased kinetic energy of drugs with increased skin temp
- increased hydration may improve absorption of drugs
(with transdermal administration)
what are the negative effects of GTN during exercise
there is the potential for vasodilation of the skin vasculature –> can cause excessive hypotension and divert coronary blood flow
explain the plasma salbutamol levels at rest and during exercise
exercise>rest
what are the mechanisms that contribute to the increased plasma levels of salbutamol with exercise
- increased respiratory rate
- increased pulmonary blood flow
- increased epithelial permeability
what are the drug effects of exercise on the gut
- inhibits gastric emptying (reducing drug delivery to the small intestine)
- increases intestinal motility to reduce transit time (less time for absorption of lipophilic drugs)
explain the plasma walfarin levels at rest and during exercise
rest>exercise
what are the mechanisms that contribute to the increased plasma levels of warfarin at rest compared to at exercise
- increased binding of warfarin to albumin –> decreased free warfarin
- possible increased metabolism with training
what is the effect of warfarin during exercise
shorter clotting time compared to at rest
explain the plasma and muscle digoxin levels at rest and during exercise
plasma - rest>exercise
muscle - exercise>rest
what is the mechanism that contributes to the decreased digoxin level during exercise
redistribution due to increased binding to skeletal muscle
what is the implication of the decreased plasma digoxin level during exercise
reduced efficacy to increase contractility or control rate
