The selective α2 -adrenergic receptor antagonist ________________ is a good option for the treatment of depression in a patient suffering from cachexia.
Homework Answers
Answer . Mirtazapine
explanation :
Metabolic changes seen Cachexia that leads to depression are-
1. Decreased appetite
2. Increased resting energy expenditure
3. Decreased skeletal muscle
4. Increased adipose tissues
5. Increased liver size
6. Presence of glucose intolerance
Mirtazapine increases adrenergic , dopaminergic and serotonergic neurotransmitters and induce insulin secretion thereby decrease blood sugar levels.

Question 1 (1 point) Vasoconstriction occurs when epinephrine (adrenaline) binds to the a-adrenergic receptor on vascular smooth muscle cells. One way to treat high blood pressure is to administer competitive inhibitors that bind to this receptor. The Kd for binding of epinephrine to this receptor is ~UM. Based on the measured affinity (Kd) of the following drugs for the a-adrenergic receptor, which might be good candidates for high blood pressure medication? Drug A: Kd = 0.6 M; Drug B: Kd...
