PG increase sensitivity of sensory nerve fibers towards ordinary pain stimuli (p. 194), i. e. , at a given stimulus strength there is an increased rate of evoked action potentials. Thermoregulation. PG raise the set point of hypothalamic (preoptic) thermoregulatory neurons; body temperature increases (fever). Vascular smooth muscle.
The antagonist binds to the inactive receptor without causing a conformational change. Agonist stabilizes spontaneously occurring active conformation. The receptor can spontaneously “flip” into the active conformation. However, the statistical probability of this event is usually so small that the cells do not reveal signs of spontaneous receptor activation.

 

Blood flow is opposed by coronary flow resistance, which includes three components. (1) Due to their large caliber, the proximal coronary segments do not normally contribute significantly to flow resistance. However, in coronary sclerosis or spasm, pathological obstruction of flow occurs here.
Because resistance may develop with frequent usage, it is restricted to the treatment of tuberculosis and leprosy (p. 280). Rifampin is contraindicated in the first trimester of gestation and during lactation. Rifabutin resembles rifampin but may be effective in infections resistant to the latter.
