H1 receptor is linked to Gq protein ad stimulation increases the production of IP3/DAG
Found in smm mm, endothelium and brain
Classic antihisamines block H1
decreases Bp, causes hives, edema, bronchospasm and itching-allergic reaction
H2 receptor
H2 are linked to Gs and increase camp. H2 fond in heart and brain

H3 and H4 receptors
both are linked to Gi and decrease camp
3- brain and presynaptic where they decrease transmitter release
4- found on leukocytes and play in chemotaxis

a. Longer time to silence HPG axis. Initial surge. Because of this if you are trying to silence HPG axis to control testosterone etc. always give an anti-androgen like flutamine. Use to treat for ART (silence HPG axis to prevent LH surge before you want to it to take place) also for precosious puberty.
FSH vs LH Fertility Drug Schemes Men vs Women
1. Men-start LH drug to stimulate testosterone, then give FSH for spermatogenesis.
2. Women-opposite. FSH first then one dose of LH to stimulate ovulation.
3. Many side effects-multiple birthing. MOST SERIOUS-in women-ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome!!

Corticosteroid Therapeutic guidelines
i. Want to minimize these as much as we can. Alternate day dosing, locally if possible, topicals, little as you can, this will help reduce HPA axis depression.
Iatrogenic Renal Insufficiency

1. IV causes renal toxicity if given too fast. if renal patient, don’t want to go IV.
2. Know which are used. Others are used off label, those might be there as distractors
