How Is The Concentration Of Drugs In Human Plasma Defined?
Concentration refers to the amount of a constituent in the given
mixture of a material.
Drug concentration is defined as the amount of drug in a given unit
volume of a particular area.
The drug concentration in tissue is measured because it can provide
better correlation to therapeutic effect than plasma
concentration.
The amount of a drug in a given volume of blood plasma, measured as
the number of micrograms per milliliter.
Normal human blood plasma, glucose concentration is ~5mM. Explain (state pathway(s) and key enzyme(s) in processing glucose in muscle cells) the fate(s) of glucose once it is delivered by blood plasma to myocytes (muscle cells).
a At 37 °C, if the plasma pH is 7.40 and the plasma concentration of HCO3 is 12.0 mM, what is the plasma concentration of H2CO3? The pKa of carbonic acid is 3.57 . Plasma concentration of H2CO3 mM
The phases of human development are biologically defined. How, if at all, can they also be culturally defined? How is "race" a culturally constructed category and not a biological one?
Match the following terminologies related to antimicrobial drugs with their appropriate descriptions. minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) This term is used to describe compounds that cause greater harm to microbes than to the human host. narrow-spectrum drug This term is used to describe the lowest concentration of a drug effective at preventing growth of particular microbes. selective toxicity This term is used to describe drugs that are effective against only a limited variety of microbes.
How are the log-dose-response curves of two drugs related to one another when the two drugs produce the same pharmacological response by acting at the same receptor? How is potency defined, and how can the relative potencies of two drugs be determined from their log-dose-response curves?
The components of the plasma membrane that are unique for each individual and help the human immune system recognize foreign cells are: enzymes. amino acids. cholesterol. carbohydrate chains. Ophospholipids.
The concentration of calcium ion in blood plasma is 0.0025 M. If the concentration of oxalate ion is 1.0 x 10-7 M. Do you expect calcium oxalate to precipitate? Ksp for calcium oxalate is 2.3 x 10-9 ( 4 points)
A typical concentration of calcium in blood plasma is 4.0 x 109 pEq/L. Represent this concentration in g/L
