It has a profile of action associated with dopamine receptor blockade.
2.
The fever is believed to be caused by hypothalamic dopamine receptor blockade.
3.
The same group also showed that mirabegron promotes smooth muscle relaxation by ? 1 adrenergic receptor blockade.
4.
It is postulated that this is a homeostatic response to NMDA receptor blockade, which in turn increases psychotic symptoms.
5.
Compared with clopidogrel given around the time of stenting, intravenous ADP-receptor blockade with cangrelor significantly reduced the rate of stent thrombosis and myocardial infarction.
6.
Since dizocilpine is a particularly strong NMDA receptor antagonist, this drug is particularly likely to have psychotomimetic side effects ( such as hallucinations ) that result from NMDA receptor blockade.
7.
In the past, research and clinical studies seemed to corroborate the D 2 receptor blockade theory in which antipsychotic drugs were thought to significantly reduce dopamine activity by blocking the D 2 receptors associated with this neurotransmitter.
