Threshold and Receptor Reserve in the Action of Neurohypophyseal Peptides
The interrelationship of several physiological receptors which influence the hydroosmotic response of the toad urinary bladder was studied employing neurohypophyseal peptides, prostaglandin E(1), theophylline, and cyclic nucleotides. The binding property of agonists (pD(2)), synergists (pS(2)), competitive antagonists (pA(2)), and noncompetitive antagonists (pD(2)') was determined after a suita...
متن کاملAntimicrobial peptides and infectious diseases
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are genetically encoded, evolutionarily ancient defence molecule, which act as primary effectors of the innate immune system. Although their origin dates back to the 1920s, research on AMPs has gained momentum relatively recently after the discovery of the underlying mechanisms of innate immunity and their modulation by AMPs. In mammals, the source of AMPs is mainl...

Although many psychiatric diseases have somatic manifestations, some focus on fears or delusions of infection. When a patient with a psychiatric basis for an apparent infection presents to an infectious disease physician, the physician may find the problem confusing, amusing, and ultimately frustrating until the psychiatric basis for disease is recognized. Some of these psychiatric disorders ca...
