Q

What are the 2 methods of NA uptake?

A

Alpha2-adrenoreceptors on the presynaptic terminal

VMAT (vesicular monoamine transporter) repackages NA

17
Q

What is the method of NA degradation?

22
Q

Distal attachment of both obturator externus and internus?

A

Greater trochanter

23
Q

Distal attachment of gluteas maximus?

A

Iliotibial tract and gluteal tuberosity

24
Q

What is the cause of osteoporosis?

A

increased reabsorption of bones making it more fragile and likely to fracture

25

26
Q

Lipoproteins in the transport of cholesterol and TG mechanism, go!

A
  1. Chylomicrons transport TG (triacylglycerol) and cholesterol from the GI to tissues.
    - Split by lipoprotein lipase to release free fatty acids (FFAs)
    - FFAs taken up by muscle and adipose tissue
  2. Chylomicron remnants taken up in the liver
    - Cholesterol stored, oxidised to bile acids or released to VLDL
  3. VLDL transport cholesterol and newly synthesised TG to tissues
    - TGs removed from VLDL leaving LDL with a high cholesterol (taken up by cells or liver)
  4. HDL absorbs cholesterol from cell breakdown and transfer it to VLDL and LDL
27
Q

What are the 4 actions of cholestyramine?

A
  • Sequesters bile acids to prevent enterohepatic recirculation
  • Decrease absorption of exogenous cholesterol
  • Increase the metabolism of endogenous cholesterol into bile acids
  • Increase LDL receptor numbers in the liver resulting in their removal from the blood.
28
Q

What are the main actions of fibrates?

A

Activators of lipoprotein lipase which lowers TG content of VLDL
Clearance of LDL in liver
Production of HDL
Reverse cholesterol transport

29
Q

What is the main function of statins?

A

HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors hence prevent the synthesis of cholesterol

30
Q

What are the 3 actions of PGE and PGI?

A

Potent vasodilators
Potentiate histamine and bradykinin actions in pain sensory nerve
Synergise with other inflammatory mediators (i.e. bradykinin and histamine)

31
Q

What are the 5 main groups of NSAIDs?

Examples and properties

A

Salicylates: Direct COX acetylation e.g. aspirin
Propionic acid: Has lower GI toxicity than aspirin, not a prodrug e.g. Ibuprofen, naproxen
Fenamates: e.g. Mefenamic acid
Paracetomol: Weak COX inhibitor, good analgesis +antipyretic, well tolerated by GIT, poor anti-inflammatory actions, problems with overdose
Selective COX-2 inhibitors: E.g.Coxib
