Document Summary
Inducers = ligands that bind to inactivate repressors repressor) Growth factors: the main psychoactive constituent is 9-tetrahydrocannabinol ( 9-thc, the most widely used illicit drug in the world, agonist = effect on body. Glutamate = small molecule, which causes over excitement in high doses. Cb1 receptor regulates the production of glu. An increase in calcium causes anandamine and 2-ag to be released, which target cb1, turning down the amount of glu released. 9-thc also targets cb1, turning down the amount of glu released and. Voltage gated = gated by changed in the membrane potential (eg: an. Ligand gated = open only when the correct agonist receptor is bound : types: blockers = block permeation. Block na+ channels in the membrane of nociceptors axons. The hydrolysis of atp energizes the transport of substances against their. Inhibitor = binds to enzyme to inhibit normal reaction (eg: asprin- inhibits pain pathways)
