Q

neuropathic pain sensitization description (spinal)

A

neuropeptides (CGRP and substance P) –> PLC –> PKC –> more excitable AMPA and NMDA receptors, and more expression and sensitivity
-possibly leads to ectopic action potentials

Q

would you use opioids as an anti-diarrheal?

A

yes, you can, and some have been designed to stay out of the CNS so no analgesic effects occur (act only in GI tract to slow motility)

Q

role of delta opioid receptor

A

reduce anxiety and depression
treat alcoholism
side effects: seizures
no FDA approved drugs for this yet

29
Q

depressants (just like stimulants) can cause DA release. How?

A
  1. opioid drug binds presynaptic mu receptor
  2. less GABA to activate GABA-A
  3. shuts off inhibition of DA neuron activity
  4. increased DA release and therefore activation of DA receptors
30
Q

in general, IV dosing looks like what on a conc./half life graph?

A

quick initial peak in about 6 minutes, then drops off quick

31
Q

in general, IM/SQ dosing looks like what on a conc./half life graph?

A

high initial peak (not as high as IV) in about 30 minutes, then drops off (slower than IV)

32
Q

in general, PO/PR dosing looks like what on a conc./half life graph?

A

lower initial peak in about 60 minutes, drops off slower than other forms
