RECEPTOR DESENSITIZATION ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

-> After exposure to an agonist, the initially maximum response is seen. -> Now if we continue to administer agonist it shows decrease in response due to desensitization of receptors. -> Removal of the drug for a more extended period allows the cell to recover its capacity to respond.

Types of Desensitization ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

-> When agonist is administered continuously,desensitization of the receptor results ; when agonist falls below a certain threshold,the system again becomes sensitive. -> E.G. Think of whathappens to your visual transduction system when you walk from bright sunlight into a darkened room or from darkness into the light. Lehninger principles of biochemistry 4th Edition pg.427

Many factors can give rise to phenomenon of desensitization. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

1. Change in receptors ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Acetylcholine (ACh) at the frog motor endplate. -> Initially brief depolarisations (upward deflections) are produced by short pulses of ACh delivered from a micropipette. -> A long pulse (horizontal line) causes the response to decline, which shows the ionic receptor desensitisation, and it recovers with a similar time course. In Nut Shell Conformational change in receptor leads to receptor desensitisation.

2.LOSS OF RECEPTORS ,[object Object],-> β-Adrenoceptors of rat glioma cells in tissue culture. Isoprenaline (1μmol/l) was added at time zero, the response and β-adrenoceptor density measured at intervals. During the early phase, the response (blue line) declines with no change in receptor density (red line). Later, the response declines further concomitantly with disappearance of receptors from the membrane by internalisation. The green and orange lines show the recovery of the response and receptor density after the isoprenaline is washed out. In Nut Shell Loss of receptor due to intenalisation lead to receptor desensitisation.

3.EXHAUSTION OF MEDIATORS ,[object Object],[object Object],In Nut Shell Depletion of an essential mediators lead to receptor desensitisation.

4.ALTERED DRUG METABOLISM ,[object Object],[object Object],In Nut Shell Increased metabolic degradation of drugs lead to receptor desensitisation.

5.PHYSIOLOGICAL ADAPTATION ,[object Object],[object Object],In Nut Shell Drug effect may be nullified by homeostatic mechanism which may lead to receptor desensitisation.
