Adenosine receptor

unfortunately, two thirds of this population are between 12 and 17 years old (Sofuoglu, Sugarman & Carroll, 2010). Marijuana contains an active ingredient, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which alters the human central reward pathway by stimulating cannaboid receptors in the place of anandamide, a hormone of the endocannabinoid system, ultimately causing a sense of euphoria, a common attribute of other abused…

My research interests are focused on molecular mechanisms of memory formation during infancy. I’m very interested in exploring how experiences during infancy results in hippocampal long-lasting changes, which influence adult behavior. Traumatic early life experiences can predispose individuals to psychopathologies, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), borderline personality disorder, addiction, depression and anxiety1-4. Paradoxically, episodic memories formed during infancy are…

This essay illustrates the classification of antagonists according to their characteristics. The classification of antagonists is divided into two main categories, receptor antagonists and non-receptor antagonists. In receptor antagonists, it would be divided into competitive antagonists and non-competitive antagonists. In non-receptor antagonists, divided into chemical antagonists and physiological antagonists. In different categories, there are different examples to support the feature of the…

coming off. Ibogaine acts on almost all receptors in the brain, but primarily the…

Legendary musician Bob Marley once said, “Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction.” Bob Marley believed that smoking marijuana opened up a spiritual gateway leading him to become one of the greatest musicians and poets to live. A lot of people other than Bob believe that marijuana can be the answer to a lot of the world's problems. Many cannabis users today argue for the legalization of medicinal and recreational use of marijuana. Marijuana is shown to help with many…

anti-bacterial. Terpinolene has sedative effects. Outside the body it has shown to be a repellant of mosquitoes and weevils. Linaool Also found in lavender. Relieves anxiety and stress. Is a strong anticonvulsant and is said to amplify serotonin receptor transmission. Linaool has antidepressant effects and is effective topically to heal tissue and reduce scarring. Phytol Phytol is unique from other terpenes, offering other medical options. Phytol is the byproduct of decomposed chlorophyll.…

Albuterol is an adrenergic receptor agonist with pharmacological properties and therapeutic indications similar to terbutaline. The mechanism of the anti-asthmatic action of adrenergic receptor agonists is without a doubt linked to the direct relaxation of airway smooth muscle and the bronchodilator. Although human bronchial smooth muscle receives little or no sympathetic stoppage, it contains large numbers of adrenergic receptors. When the adrenergic receptors activate the adenylyl cyclase…

a part in cancer is the pathway that involves cyclic adenosine monophosphate…

A constant supply of energy is available to the body in the form of ATP; ATP is made up of three phosphate groups and a base and is formed through a reaction between a phosphate molecule and between adenosine diphosphate. The storage and release of energy is associated with the chemical bonds that takes place in the molecules; when a bond is made, energy is stored, and when broken, energy is released. Energy is stored when ADP binds with another phosphate…

researchers were interested in determining whether sex differences exist for the cannabinoid modulation of appetite, body temperature, and neurotransmission at POMC synapses. The drugs that were used in this experiment were a 1 mg/kg s.c. agonist CB1 receptor WIN 55,212-2, a 3 mg/kg s.c. antagonist AM251, and a 1 ml/kg s.c. vehicle. This study had two parts to it with one focusing on the behavioral aspects of the animals and the other on the biological aspects. Behavioral…
