toxins such as caffeine‚ nicotine‚ epinephrine‚ ethanol and salt have on the Daphnia magna’s heart rate Results The effect the various drugs caffeine‚ nicotine and epinephrine had on the Daphnia magna is displayed in Figure 1. After three sample trials were taken there was an average of 180 beats/min-1 ± 6.928 taken under normal conditions. The addition of caffeine caused an increase in the average heartbeat to change to 192 beats/min-1 ± 9.165 in the Daphnia magna tested. When testing the effect

General Adaption Syndrome- (Stress Response) Three Stages: Consistent way the body reacts to stress; typically involves elevated levels of epinephrine and glucocorticoids Alarm reaction- mediated by norepinephrine from the sympathetic nervous system‚ and epi from the adrenal medulla. They prepare body for flight or fight. Angiotensin and aldosterone levels also increase. Angiotensin raises BP‚ aldosterone promotes sodium and H2O conservation‚ which helps offset possible losses by sweating and bleeding

• It is important to consider (1) exercise intensity (2) duration of drug therapy when evaluating the effects of beta-blockers on exercise metabolism Blood Glucose and Muscle Glycogen • Glycogenolysis in skeletal muscle is mediated by epinephrine via stimulation of beta-2-receptors • Beta-2-blockade impairs mobilization of glycogen stores during exercise‚ producing‚ in turn‚ lower serum glucose values • Muscle glycogenolysis is unaffected by beta-blockade at submaximal exercise‚ but

pressure of 140 or greater(Pheochromocytoma - Medical Definition and More from Merriam-Webster. n.d.). So what does all this mean in layman terms? Pheochromocytoma is a rare tumor of adrenal gland tissue. It results in the release of too much epinephrine and norepinephrine‚ hormones that control heart rate‚ metabolism‚ and blood pressure. The adrenal glands are a part of the Endocrine system. It is this system that the body depends on to regulate normal body functions. Most of these types of

YUDEXYS PENALVER 12/20/2012 ABSTRACT #2-Polyuria PURPOSE: The purpose of the study is to identify polyuria in recipients that have under gone renal transplant and have experience excessive urine output. METHOD: A 57-year-old male patient with hypertension and hyperglycemia was referred to our hospital because of a diagnosis regarding his left adrenal tumor. Because the levels of urinary metanephrine and normetanephrine were elevated‚ and 131I-MIBG scintigraphy showed intense uptake in the

fear. When these glands begin to grow tumors called Pheochromocytoma. Phechromocytoma is a rare tumor that is found on the adrenal glands that causes hyper secretion of hormones that control the heart rate‚ blood pressure‚ and metabolism called epinephrine and norepinephrine that results in intermittent or sustained hypertension. Pheochromocytoma most often occurs in young to middle- aged adults that are between the ages of 30 and 60. Out of the people who are affected‚ ten percent of them are children

Ligands: Examining the effects of pharmaceutical compounds on Daphnia magna physiology Abstract The following study was conducted in order to determine the effects of four different pharmaceutical compounds on the heart rate of Daphnia specimens. After basal heart rate was observed and computed‚ four different solutions each containing either an adrenergic‚ muscarinic‚ or nicotinic agonist or antagonist was tested against individual Daphnia. Observations were made through a compound light microscope
