Study Notes
Diuretics
- The primary route of excretion for loop diuretics is through the kidneys.
- Loop diuretics inhibit the Na+/K+/2Cl- symporter in the kidneys.
Loop Diuretics
- Furosemide is the most widely used loop diuretic.
- The primary pharmacodynamic effect of loop diuretics is to increase urine production and reduce blood volume.
Electrolyte Imbalance
- Loop diuretics can cause electrolyte imbalances, including potassium depletion (hypokalemia) and sodium depletion (hyponatremia).
Endocrine System
- The pancreas is responsible for producing insulin.
- Short-acting antidiabetic agents are designed to increase insulin secretion.
- Hormones of the endocrine system regulate various physiological processes, including metabolism, growth, and development.
- The endocrine system plays a crucial role in maintaining internal equilibrium (homeostasis) by regulating various bodily functions.
Antidiabetic Agents
- Antidiabetic agents are designed to manage and control blood glucose levels.
