dehydrogenase activity follows Zero / First order kinetics. (2 pts)
Zero
First
Drinking ethanol before taking a dose of theophylline increases / decreases the
metabolism of theophylline. On the other hand, theophylline metabolism is increased / decreased in alcoholic patients. (2 pts)

- Buspirone Yes No
- Ethanol Yes No
No
Yes
Which of the following drugs decreases the activity of glutamate receptors? (answer yes or no, 1 pt each)
(1 pt each)
- Ethanol Yes or No
- Buspirone Yes or No
Yes
No
The following drugs exhibit pharmacokinetic tolerance with repeated daily use. (1 pt each)
- Ethanol True / False
True
- Ethanol use acutely (increases, decreases) the metabolism of drugs by CYP2E1, but inan alcoholic, metabolism of drugs by this enzyme is (increased, decreased). (2 pts)

At what doses of Barbituates could we use the following to block barbituate action?
Bicuculline
Picrotoxin
Bicuculline - low doses only (barbs can open GABA channels themselves at high doses, so this antagonist wouldn’t work)
Picrotoxin - high doses only (able to get in channel to impair flow)
