Receptors and Cellular Pharmacology: Proceedings of The Sixth International Congress of Pharmacology

Description

Receptors and Cellular Pharmacology is a collection of the proceedings of the
Sixth International Congress of Pharmacology held in Helsinki, Finland, on
July 20-25, 1975 and organized by the Finnish Pharmacological Society. The
papers explore developments relating to receptors and cellular pharmacology
and address a wide range of topics such as the hydrophobic properties of the
neuromuscular blocking agents and the use of toxins as tools in receptor
studies. Comprised of 21 chapters, this volume begins with an introduction to
histamine receptors, their pharmacological taxonomy and classification, their
presence in the gastric mucosa, and their applications in medicine. The
discussion then turns to pharmacological investigations on cells in culture;
the acetylcholine receptor of intact and cultured chicken retina cells;
actions of neurotoxins on the acetylcholine receptor; and the isolation and
characterization of membrane receptors. Subsequent chapters deal with cyclic
nucleotides as mediators of drug action, with particular reference to the
mechanism of the relaxation-promoting effects of epinephrine on the mammalian
heart. This book should be of interest to pharmacologists, internists,
psychiatrists, neurologists, and anesthesiologists. Read more
