299 What is Characteristics of chemical cholesterol?
Answer A waxy substance that is present in blood plasma and in all animal tissues.
Chemically, cholesterol is an organic compound belonging to the steroid family; its
molecular formula is c27h46o. In its pure state it is a white, crystalline substance that is
odorless and tasteless.
It is a primary component of the membrane that surrounds each cell, and it is the starting
material or an intermediate compound from which the body synthesizes bile acids, steroid
hormones, and vitamin d.
Cholesterol is a waxy substance that's found in all of your cells and has several useful
functions, including helping to build your body's cells. It's carried through your
bloodstream attached to proteins. These proteins are called lipoproteins.
300 What is principle of human cell membrane
Answer The cell membrane is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the
outside environment. The cell membrane is selectively-permeable to ions and organic
molecules and controls the movement of substances in and out of cells. It consists of the
phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins. Cell membranes are involved in a variety of
cellular processes such as cell adhesion, ion conductivity and cell signaling and serve as the
attachment surface for the extracellular glycocalyx and cell wall and intracellular
cytoskeleton

303 Which hormone release from posterior pituitary gland
Answer The posterior pituitary does not produce any hormones of its own, rather, it stores and
secretes two hormones made in the hypothalamus:
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH): Stimulates water reabsorption by kidneys
Oxytocin: Stimulates uterine contractions during childbirth.
The anterior pituitary receives signaling molecules from the hypothalamus, and in
response, synthesizes and secretes important hormones including:
-Growth hormone (GH): Promotes growth of body tissues
-Prolactin (PRL): Promotes milk production from mammary glands
-Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH): Stimulates thyroid hormone release from thyroid
-Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH): Stimulates hormone release by adrenal cortex
-Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH): Stimulates gamete production in gonads
-Luteinizing hormone (LH): Stimulates androgen production by gonads

309 What is MOA glycerol trinitrate ?
Answer Nitroglycerin (glyceryl trinitrate)
Nitroglycerin, an organic nitrate, is a vasodilating agent that relieves tension on vascular
smooth muscle and dilates peripheral veins and arteries.
It increases guanosine 3'5' monophosphate (cyclic GMP) in smooth muscle and other
tissues by stimulating guanylate cyclase through formation of free radical nitric oxide. This
activity results in dephosphorylation of the light chain of myosin, which improves the
contractile state in smooth muscle results in vasodilation.
310 Which Diuretic increase excretion of sodium , potassium , magnesium and promote
reabsorption of uric acid ?
answer Loop diuretic (Bumetanide, Torsemide )
311 What is side effects of doxorubicin

to 21 days) for the treatment of esophageal candidiasis due to its ease of administration,
lack of toxicity, and lower cost .
For patients with documented esophageal candidiasis that is refractory to fluconazole after
one week of treatment,
More than 20 types of fatty acids are found in foods; some of these are
Saturated (Palmitic acid, Stearic acid)
Monounsaturated (Oleic acid)
Polyunsaturated (Linoleic acid, Linolenic acid, Arachidonic acid, Eicosapentaenoic acid,
Docosahexaenoic acid)
Sources of fatty acids include fruits, vegetable oils, seeds, nuts, animal fats, and fish oils.
Essential fatty acids, such as omega-3 fatty acids, serve important cellular functions.
320 Which is one of the characterestics of fungi ?
Answer Cell wall composed of polysaccharides provides protection from the environment
-Fungal cell walls are composed of chitin or other polysaccharides
-They are non photosynthetic, generally saprophytic, eukaryotic organisms.
-Their shapes either:
Filamentous (Molds) or Unicellular (Yeasts) .
The other form is made up of thread like structures. Individual threads are known as
hyphae whose singular form is hypha.
-Reproduction may be asexual, sexual, or both.
-Fungi grow better at a ph of 5, which is too acidic for most bacteria.
-Almost all molds are aerobic. Most yeasts are facultative anaerobes.
-Fungi are more resistant to high osmotic pressure than bacteria.
-Fungi can grow on substances with very low moisture.
-Fungi require less nitrogen than bacteria to grow.
-Fungi can break down complex carbohydrates (wood, paper), that most bacteria cannot.
-Fungi are multinucleate, meaning that one cell can contain two or more nuclei.
-All fungi produce spores.
-Pathogenic fungi can cause diseases: skin infections (superficial mycoses) or serious,
systemic infections (deep mycoses).
Immunologic drug reactions are divided into four categories according to the Gell
and Coombs system :
Type I Immediate in onset and caused by immunoglobulin (Ig)E-mediated activation of
mast cells and basophils
Mechanism Antigen exposure causes ige-mediated activation of mast cells and basophils,
with release of vasoactive substances, such as histamine, prostaglandins, and leukotrienes
Type II Delayed in onset and caused by antibody (usually igg-mediated) cell destruction
Mechanism An antigen or hapten that is intimately associated with a cell binds to antibody,
leading to cell or tissue injury.
Type III Delayed in onset and caused by immune complex (igg:drug) deposition and
complement activation
Mechanism Damage is caused by formation or deposition of antigen-antibody complexes
in vessels or tissue. Deposition of immune complexes causes complement activation and/or
recruitment of neutrophils by interaction of immune complexes with Fc igg receptors.
323 Which is one of the igs is responsible of ? Igs functions ( IGE, IGA, IGM , Ect)
Answer There are five isotypes: igg (the heavy chain is designated gamma), iga (alpha), igm (mu),
ige (epsilon), and igd (delta).
Igg:
Enhances phagocytosis, neutralizes toxins and viruses, protects fetus and newborn,
Compliment activation.
All four igg subclasses act as opsonins, binding to microbes and facilitating phagocytosis.
Igm:
First antibodies produced during an infection. Effective against microbes and agglutinating
antigens.
Iga:
One important function appears to be activation of the phagocytic system through the
binding of the Fc portion to the cell surface receptors

325 Questions about cytochrome p 450 branches ????????? Understand from RXprep
Answer Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes are essential for the production of cholesterol,
steroids, prostacyclins, and thromboxane A2. They also are necessary for the detoxification
of foreign chemicals and the metabolism of drugs.
There are more than 50 CYP450 enzymes, but the CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19,
CYP2D6, CYP3A4, and CYP3A5 enzymes metabolize 90 percent of drugs.
CYP2D6 It is One of the Most Greatest Important CYP 450. It is just Only represent 1% of
all types of CYP 450.It is responsible for the metabolism of 25% of the most common
Ingested Medications (about 100 drugs).
Substrate:
Drug is metabolized by the enzyme system
CYP1A2 (Caffeine, clozapine, theophylline)
CYP2C9 (Carvedilol, celecoxib, glipizide, ibuprofen, Irbesartan, losartan)

-Thiazide diuretics
-An ACE inhibitor or ARB should be used for initial monotherapy in patients who have
diabetic nephropathy or nondiabetic chronic kidney disease complicated by proteinuria.
-When more than one agent is needed to control the blood pressure, we recommend therapy
with a long-acting ACE inhibitor or ARB in concert with a long-acting dihydropyridine
calcium channel blocker.
-If blood pressure remains uncontrolled, despite use of two antihypertensive medications,
we recommend therapy with ACE inhibitor or ARB in conjunction with both a long-acting
dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker and a thiazide-like diuretic.
-if a long-acting dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker is not tolerated due to leg
swelling, a non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (ie, verapamil or diltiazem) may
be used instead.
