If you were a medical researcher, what other areas of the blood-clotting pathway would you target for inhibition to decrease the risks of stroke?
Why is it reasonable to expect that control can be exerted near the end of a pathway as well as near the beginning?
Sodium is an incredibly important substance in our body. You may remember from module one that sodium ions play a crucial role in conducting nerve impulses during depolarization. You may also remember from biology 20 that sodium is involved in muscle contractions. Hyponatraemia has a condition where there is too little sodium in the body. This can result on difficulty processing thoughts nausea decreased ability to balance seizures in coma on the other hand an excessive amount of sodium or hyponatraemia in the body can also lead to many different neurological problems including seizures in coma.
Katrina has an excessive amount of sodium ions in her blood plasma. This is occurring despite the fact that she has been watching her salt intake and ensuring that she's drinking enough fluid throughout the day.
Katrina has an aldosterone imbalance.

One aspect of this response is changes in blood flow such that the skeletal muscles and heart receive higher blood flow (vessels dilate) while digestive organs receive less (vessels constrict). A) Which signal molecule(s) is/are involved in this response, and how do they produce these changes in blood vessels?

- After establishing the importance of cGMP in the signaling pathway of the photoreceptor cells, the researchers wish to identify the exact target of cGMP. The researchers suspect that cGMP binds to an ion channel, causing the observed change in the membrane potential between the dark and the light conditions but they are not sure which one. The researchers determine the movement of three different ions (sodium, chloride and potassium) as a function of their respective electrochemical gradient across the plasma membrane: ● Sodium tends to enter the cell Chloride tends to enter the cell Potassium tends to leave the cell The researchers therefore propose three simple hypotheses for the effect of cGMP on the membrane potential of the rod photoreceptor cell: ● Hypothesis A: CGMP binds to a sodium-channel, that opens and lets sodium ions diffuse inside the cell. Hypothesis B: cGMP binds to a chloride-channel, that opens and lets loride ions diffuse inside the cell. Hypothesis C: cGMP binds to…arrow_forwardα-Bungarotoxin is a powerful neurotoxin found in the venom of a poisonous snake (Bungarus multicinctus). It binds with high specificity to the acetylcholine receptor (AChR; an integral membrane protein) andprevents its ion channel from opening. This interaction was used to purify AChR from the electric organ of torpedo fish.(a) Outline a strategy for using α-bungarotoxin covalently bound to chromatography beads to purify the AChR protein.
