Dose Dependent effects of Dopamine mnemonic

Simplified version of Dopamine’s dose-dependent MAJOR effects:

low doses - activates D1 receptors (Gs) - vasodilates renal blood vessels*

med.doses - activates B1 receptors (Gs) - increases heart rate/contractility etc..

high doses - activates A1 (Gq) - vasoconstricts,

*increased renal perfusion, GFR, also vasodilates mesenteric and coronary vessels

ETC shortcuts

FADH2 goes to complex II since 2 hydrogens

RotenONE inhibits complex ONE

AntImIcIn A, 3 III’s ==> Antimycin A inhibits complex 3

Cyan COlored Complex IV ==> Cyanide and CO inhibit complex IV

24 brown fatty aspirins break up ==> 2,4 dnp, aspirin and brown fat are etc uncouplers 

I made this because I can never get it right! Hope this helps others. 

If you think of Km as strength and affinity as attraction it makes it easier to remember

Side effects of drugs commonly given to the elderly

For sleep aid do not give barbituates or diphenhydramine (1st gen antihistamine). Instead, give Ramelteon.  

Mechanism of Fever

Ketone bodies are produced in the liver and can be used as an energy source in the mitochondrial of peripheral tissues. Important fact: RBCs can not use ketones because they lack mitochondria.

The liver is unable to peform Ketolysis because it lacks Thiophorase (Succinyl-CoA Acetoacetate Transferase), and is hence unable to activate its own ketones.
