Activity blocking

An increasing number of diseases are known to be linked to defects in receptor stmcture, function, or coupling. The defects may He at several locations in the stmcture of the receptor, which may alter its abiHty either to bind dmgs, to be inserted into the membrane, or to couple to effectors (including G-proteins) in the coupling protein or in the presence of autoantibodies, which can proceed to activate, block, or lyse the receptors and its components (96—99). [Pg.282]

Decomposition in the presence of styrene at 60°C or with a tertiary amine in the presence of methyl methacrylate gives the corresponding ABA active block copolymer or ABBA active block copolymer, respectively. When both active block copolymers are used as polymeric initiators in another vinyl polymerization, an ABCBA type multiblock copolymer is obtained [34]. [Pg.729]

The second theory is that some atypicals work by balancing dopamine blockade with serotonin receptor blockade. We know that one of the roles of serotonin is to attenuate (or lessen) dopamine activity. Blocking serotonin action therefore may release just enough dopamine activity in the nigrostriatal pathway to avoid EPS without interfering with the antipsychotic effects in the mesolimbic area. [Pg.116]

It is believed that tricyclic antidepressants inhibit the (neuronal) reuptake of norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and/or serotonin by presynaptic nerve endings, thus blocking one of the leading mechanisms of their inactivation, and thereby increasing the concentration of the indicated amines potentiating their effects. It should be noted that, as a rule, secondary amines, which are representatives of tricyclic antidepressants, exhibit high activity, blocking the neuronal reuptake of norepinephrine, while tertiary amines act more on the neuronal reuptake of serotonin. [Pg.104]

Similar to macrolides, lincosamides also target the SOS ribosome subunit. More specifically, they inhibit the enzyme peptidyl transferase, which in turn inhibits the activity of ribosomes, preventing the binding of amino acyl-tRNA to the A site on the SOS subunit. That activity blocks the synthesis of proteins. [Pg.37]

Some kinds of experiences are actively blocked by enculturation, not simply passively neglected these are represented by a pair of bars between some categories within the wheel and the rim of the wheel. You will not experience certain kinds of things, even if they are happening, unless you are subjected to drastic pressures, internal or external. [Pg.253]

Jouvet also helped us understand how the brain could be turned on without producing waking behaviour. As the motor system was actively blocked at the level of the spinal cord, real movement was impossible even if the upper brain elaborated and commanded the rich behaviours that we perceive in our dream scenarios. [Pg.53]
