48
Q

What is the gradient of a log (response / max response - response) against log[drug] graph?

A

How many molecules bind

49
Q

What is a heterotropic interaction?

A

Oppose each others effects

50

65
Q

A

66
Q

What is homologous desensitization?

A

Only receptors which are stimulated become desensitised

67
Q

What is heterologous desensitisation?

A

Receptors other than stimulated ones are desensitised - activates PKA which decouples alpha subunit of G protein

68
Q

Why does heterologous desensitization not lead to endocytosis?

A

Arrestin does not recognise the PKA phosphorylated receptor seen in heterologous desensitization)

69
Q

Why are hydrophilic radioligands used?

Can’t get to internal receptors AND endocytosis not initiated if they are an antagonist

73
Q

What does it mean if the lnC vs time plot os not a straight line?

A

There is redistribution into tissues - a two compartment model

74
Q

What happens if urine is at a low pH?

A

Weak acids are more uncharged so more is reabsorbed from the kidneys - opposite for weak bases

75
Q

What happens if urine is at a high pH?

88
Q
