In a chronic alcohol drinker, levels of stomach enzymes that metabolize alcohol begin to increase, causing more alcohol to be metabolized before it reaches the bloodstream. What kind of tolerance is this and how will it affect the amount of alcohol they need to drink to produce the effects they desire? Pharmacokinetic, they will have to drink more alcohol to produce the effect they desire Anhedonia generally refers to: Difficulty experiencing pleasure from things in life other than drugs Cocai...

A 38-year-old male patient presents to the clinic complaining of his struggles with alcohol use disorder. The patient mentions he is ready to follow through with this decision and quit. His vital signs show a blood pressure of 122/84 mmHg and a heart rate of 86 bpm. A drug is recommended to help him along with this process, but he is warned of the side effects if he drinks alcohol with it. If he drinks alcohol while taking this drug, what is the toxic byproduct that leads to nausea and severe vo...

Chapter 5 focuses on catecholamines, a group of neurotransmitters that include dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. The chapter begins by discussing the synthesis of catecholamines, outlining the multi-step biochemical pathways that convert tyrosine to dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. It emphasizes the role of specific enzymes, such as tyrosine hydroxylase, which catalyzes the rate-limiting step in catecholamine synthesis. The regulation of these synthetic pathways is also covere...
