Basic and Ocular Pharmacology BASIC AND OCULAR PHARMACOLOGY
Introduction The science of pharmacology is concerned with the effects of drugs on the function of living tissues (Greek: Pharmakos = drug, Logos = study). Since modern medicine relies heavily on drugs as the principal tool for the treatment and prevention of disease, it is important that all clinicians possess a basic understanding of the pharmacological principles that govern their clinical u...
متن کاملCONTINUING EDUCATION Basic and Clinical Pharmacology of Glucocorticosteroids
Glucocorticosteroids are a product of the adrenal cortex and perform a staggering number of physiological effects essential for life. Their clinical use is largely predicated on their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties, but they also have notable efficacy in the prophylaxis of postoperative nausea and vomiting. This article reviews the basic functions of glucocorticoids and thei...
متن کاملGlutamate Receptors; from Basic Pharmacology to Clinical Applications
The existence of glutamate receptors as important neurotransmitter receptors was not fully accepted until the 1980s. It is now generally agreed that glutamate is the major fast excitatory neurotransmitter in brain, and plays a major role in brain development, affecting neuronal migration, neuronal differentiation, axon genesis, and neuronal survival through its action on the glutamate receptors...
متن کاملInternational Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology. XCVIII. Histamine Receptors.
Histamine is a developmentally highly conserved autacoid found in most vertebrate tissues. Its physiological functions are mediated by four 7-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors (H1R, H2R, H3R, H4R) that are all targets of pharmacological intervention. The receptors display molecular heterogeneity and constitutive activity. H1R antagonists are long known antiallergic and sedating drugs, w...
متن کاملInternational Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology. LXXXVI. Orexin receptor function, nomenclature and pharmacology.
Orexin signaling is essential for normal regulation of arousal and behavioral state control and represents an attractive target for therapeutics combating insomnia. Alternatively termed hypocretins, these neuropeptides were named to reflect sequence similarity to incretins and their potential to promote feeding. Current nomenclature reflects these molecular and biochemical discovery approaches ...
