Document Summary

Enzymes: protein in chemical nature; cannot be destroyed; can be re-used. Hormones: may be protein, they"re destroyed/degraded after their action is over. Gaba(b) binds to gaba(a) (gaba bonds to gaba) For contraction of smooth muscle, you need calcium. G-protein can be g(s) type or g(2) type. Infin(1) receptor binds epinephrine, causes vasoconstriction, so blood pressure goes up sugar levels go down. To treat type 2: reduce intake of sugar.
