Parent topics
- Adrenergic receptor [r]: Cell-surface proteins that bind epinephrine and/or norepinephrine with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes. The two major classes of adrenergic receptors, alpha and beta, were originally discriminated based on their cellular actions but now are distinguished by their relative affinity for characteristic synthetic ligands. [e]
- Adrenergic agent [r]: Drugs that act on adrenergic receptors or affect the life cycle of adrenergic transmitters. [e]
- Adrenergic beta-agonist [r]: Class of drugs used to treat asthma and other pulmonary disease states. [e]
- Adrenergic uptake inhibitor [r]: Drug which acts as a reuptake inhibitor for the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and epinephrine by blocking the action of the norepinephrine transporter. [e]
- Heart failure [r]: Defective cardiac filling and/or impaired contraction and emptying, resulting in the heart's inability to pump a sufficient amount of blood to meet the needs of the body tissues or to be able to do so only with an elevated filling pressure. [e]
- G-protein-coupled receptor kinase [r]: A family of protein kinases which regulate the activity of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) by phosphorylating their intracellular domains after their associated G proteins have been released and activated. [e]
- Sympathetic nervous system [r]: Portion of the autonomic nervous system concerned with nonvolitional preparation of the organism for emergency situations. [e]
- Protein kinase [r]: A family of enzymes that catalyze the conversion of adenosine triphosphate and a protein to adenosine diphosphate and a phosphoprotein. [e]
- G-protein-coupled receptor [r]: Protein family of transmembrane receptors that sense molecules outside the cell and activate inside signal transduction pathways and, ultimately, cellular responses. [e]
- Antipsychotic agent [r]: Class of medicines used to treat psychosis and other mental and emotional conditions. [e]
- Geriatrics [r]: "the branch of medicine concerned with the physiological and pathological aspects of the aged, including the clinical problems of senescence and senility."(National Library of Medicine) [e]
