As you know, high levels of free cholesterol in the bloodstream leads to deposition of that cholesterol in vessel walls, which is a contributing factor to plaque formation. One of the body's natural defense mechanisms against high free cholesterol are circulating levels of lipoproteins that are released by the liver, take in free cholesterol, and return it to the liver. Which of the following lipoproteins are involved in this process? O LDL O HDL O chylomicrons O VLDL O ILDL

A patient came to a dental clinic with complaints of dry mouth and multiple dental caries lesions. In the course of collecting anamnesis, it was found that an allergic patient takes antihistamines that block the H2 histamine receptors of smooth muscle cells of the salivary glands. It is known that histamine is a mediator that stimulates the secretion of saliva. Explain the mechanism of action of these drugs if it is known that the next day after discontinuation of the drug, the patient's dryness disappeared. Q: give a picture illustrating the action of this type of inhibitors.

It is known that histamine is a mediator that stimulates the secretion of saliva. Explain the mechanism of action of these drugs if it is known that the next day after discontinuation of the drug, the patient's dryness disappeared. For this: а) write the classification of inhibitors according to the mechanism of action b) indicate what type of inhibitors the drugs are taken by the patient; confirm your conclusion in writing c) guess what structure this drug may have d) give a picture illustrating the action of this type of inhibitors.

Aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug(NSAID) that inhibits the formation of blood clots andis taken regularly by individuals with a heart condition.Steroids such as cortisol are used to control someautoimmune diseases and severe arthritis by downregulatingthe inflammatory response. After reading therole of inflammation in the body’s response to infection,can you predict an undesirable consequence of taking antiinflammatorydrugs on a regular basis?
When William H. was helping victims after a devastating earthquake in a region not prepared to swiftly set up adequate temporary shelter, he developed severe diarrhea. He was diagnosed as having cholera, a disease transmitted through unsanitary water supplies contaminated by fecal material from infected indiv iduals. The toxin produced by cholera bacteria causes Cl- channels in the lurninal membranes of the intestinal cells to stay open, thereby increasing the secretion of Cl- from the cells into the intestinal tract lumen. By what mechanisms would Na+ and water be secreted into the lumen in conjunction with Cl- secretion? How does this secretory response account for the severe diarrhea that is characteristic of cholera?
Is this statement is correct or incorrect. Explain with reason and related physiological concepts. Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) can be found on the plasma membrane of macrophages.
Therapeutic agents are currently being investigated that block the action of selectins in order to prevent the pathological effects resulting from leukocyte entry into sites of inflammation. These agents are molecules that inhibit selectin. Describe molecules that might be effective. (Information: Glycoproteins are an important class of proteins. There are many families of glycoproteins: lectins and selectins are examples.)
