Glutamate and GABA are neurotransmitters made in GABAergic and glycinergic nerve terminals. The enzyme responsible for the conversion of glutamate to GABA is phosphate activated glutaminase Glutamic acid decarboxylase Glutamic deaminase GABA aminotransferase
Chlorpromazine and Bromocriptine both have the affinity in the dopamine receptors of the Central Nervous System, Chlorpromazine is use to treat schizophrenia and psychosis whereas Bromocriptine is use to treat parkinson’s disease. Explain the action of these drugs in the dopamine receptor and why they have different effects and clinical use, knowing that they both act on the dopamine receptors.
Vitamins B1, B6 and B12 are so-called "Neurotropic" vitamins. They may response to "Wallerian degeneration" in nerve system. Briefly describe"Wallerian degeneration" and how the "neurotropic" vitamins react with this process.
Catecholamines like epinephrine and norepinephrine among having many physiological effects like increased blood pressure, on a molecular level will also promote the breakdown of what?
Which statement is true regarding GABA and Glutamate? Glutamate signaling is only required for the development of glutamatergic synapses O GABA is always inhibitory Glutamate is recycled with the aid of glial cells at the synapse O Neither glutamate nor GABA are very prevalent in the CNS
The monoamine hypothesis of depression proposes that monoamine oxidase is overproduced in very depressed people. O depression is a result of low monoamine levels at synapses. depression is a result of high monoamine levels at synapses. monoamine oxidase is absent in very depressed people.
All the B - adrenergic receptors are linked with Gs G-protein. Physiological processes mediated by the intracellular second messenger cyclic AMP include: YOU CAN CHOOSE MORE THAN ONE A.carbohydrate breakdown by the liver (glycogenolysis) B.increased contractility (e.g. increased cardiac contractility) C.smooth muscle relaxation (e.g. bronchodilation or vasodilation) D.Triglyceride breakdown (lipolysis)
The structures of norepinephrine and epinephrine differ by a single methyl group . Knowing what you know about amino acid and protein structure, propose what differences in protein structure would allow norepinephrine to bind with higher affinity to the b1- how epinephrine binds with higher affinity to the b2-adrenergic receptor.
L-Dopa One of the first medications developed to treat Parkinson's disease is a substance called L-DOPA (or Levodopa). This medication can be taken to reduce the motor symptoms of Parkinson's. Unfortunately there is no way to reverse or stop the death of the dopamine producing neurons, but L-DOPA is one of a few treatments that can help manage the symptoms. Your task is to investigate what L-DOPA is and explain why taking L-DOPA might reduce the symptoms of the disease. Write at least one paragraph (5 sentences) to explain your findings in the box below. Use the rubric here to make sure you are explaining the situation thoroughly. This should be entirely in your own words. Do not use phrases from the internet if you do not know what they mean.

Parkinson's Disease Parkinson's disease is neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement. Most people affected with Parkinson's disease demonstrate rigidity, slow movement, and shaking. The symptoms of Parkinson's disease occur when the cells that produce dopamine neurotransmitters die in the brain. Explain how the signal transmission at a synapse in an individual with Parkinson's disease is different than an unaffected individual. Describe the normal process of signal transmission at a synapse. Start with the arrival of an action potential at the axon terminal and include the name of the neurotransmitter that is affected by Parkinson's disease. Explain how the process is different in individuals affected with Parkinson's disease.
In a cell line derived from normal rat thyroid, stimulation of the alpha1-adrenergic receptor increases both IP3 formation and release of arachidonic acid (AA). IP3 elevates cytosolic Ca, which mediates thyroxine efflux, whereas AA serves as a source of prostaglandin E2, which stimulates DNA synthesis. It is not clear how AA release is connected to the adrenergic receptor. AA could arise by cleavage from the DAG that accompanies IP3 production. Alternatively, AA could arise through an independent effect of the receptor on PLA2, which can directly release AA from intact phosphoglycerides. Consider the following experimental observations: a) Addition of noradrenaline to cell cultures stimulates production of both IP3 and AA. b) If the alpha1-adrenergic receptors are made unresponsive to noradrenaline by treatment with phorbol esters (which act through PKC to cause phosphorylation, and inactivation, of the receptor), addition of noradrenaline causes no increase in IP3 or AA. c) When…
