Summary Introduction
To determine: The way in which the drugs that block leukotriene action and synthesis act.
Introduction: The signal molecule includes a Ca2+ ion, a family of lipid-derived messengers, and three genes. The most important ionic messengers are calcium ions. There are different kinds of Ca2+ channels through which Ca2+ enters inside the cell. These channels may be ligand-gated, voltage-gated, and mechanically gated.

_____________ is synthesized by the ________________ but in the case of anaphylaxis it can be injected to bind to the receptors on heart and liver tissue. Binding of heart tissue stimulates _____________ while binding of liver tissue stimulates _______________.
Halle Zingiber has been granted refugee status in this country. He has had to leave his wife and two children in Ethiopia. He is severely depressed and is receiving treatment with the tricyclic depressant, nortriptyline. No effects were reported when standard doses of the drug (25 mg tds) were used. His doctor increased the dose many-fold to 200 mg/day a dose, which is inducing effects. Can you explain Halle’s unusual response to therapy?
Drugs bind to receptor and give response to the body. What type of binding involve in this process ?
