|
Definition
| they get infections easier, they cannot fight them |
|
|
Term
| What are the 2 places that steroids act? |
|
Definition
they block inflammation (block lipids going to arachidonic acid)
they get into the nucleus of the cell to block transcription/translation of certain genetic material
(makes it longer to heal because blockin collagen synthesis) |
|
|
Term
| What drug is the standard when comparing relative doses and equivalent potencies of glucocorticoids? |
|
Definition
| hydrocortisone (more mineralocorticoid-will affect Na/K pressure channel) |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
Prednisone
prednisolone
methylprednisolone

|
Definition
| Taking steroids suppresses your own steroid production (hypothalamus and anterior pituitary) so you don't have adrenal production which can cause infection and become very sick |
