What is desensitization in the context of receptor activity? Increased receptor sensitivity Temporary reduction in receptor response Irreversible receptor damage Permanent receptor blockade

Temporary reduction in receptor response

Which mechanism is NOT typically associated with drug desensitization? Receptor phosphorylation Receptor internalization Receptor gene expression increase Receptor degradation

Receptor gene expression increase

Which genetic factor can significantly influence drug metabolism? Polymorphism in cytochrome P450 enzymes Blood pressure levels Liver enzyme saturation Renal function

Polymorphism in cytochrome P450 enzymes

How does age affect drug response? Older adults often have decreased liver and kidney function Younger individuals metabolize drugs faster Age has no significant impact Drugs are more effective in children

Older adults often have decreased liver and kidney function

Which physiological factor can alter drug distribution? Body composition, such as fat percentage Dietary preferences Time of day Seasonal changes

Body composition, such as fat percentage

What role does pathological state play in drug response? It can modify drug metabolism and excretion It has no effect on drug response It only affects drug absorption It enhances drug potency

It can modify drug metabolism and excretion

How does smoking affect drug metabolism? Induces cytochrome P450 enzymes, increasing metabolism Decreases drug absorption Has no effect on drug metabolism Increases drug distribution

Induces cytochrome P450 enzymes, increasing metabolism

What is a common effect of genetic variations in drug response? Different rates of drug metabolism Universal drug efficacy Identical side effects in all patients Constant drug absorption rates

Different rates of drug metabolism

How can diet influence drug action? Certain foods can alter drug absorption and metabolism Diet has no impact on drug mechanisms Only affects drug distribution Increases drug elimination

Certain foods can alter drug absorption and metabolism

Which factor is considered when adjusting drug doses in liver disease? Reduced metabolism and excretion capacity Increased plasma protein binding Enhanced renal clearance Unchanged pharmacokinetics

Reduced metabolism and excretion capacity

Which genetic factor can affect drug response? Polymorphisms in drug-metabolizing enzymes Body weight Dietary habits Age

Polymorphisms in drug-metabolizing enzymes

How does age influence drug response? Older adults have increased kidney function Children metabolize drugs slower than adults Infants have immature liver enzymes Age has no effect on drug response

Infants have immature liver enzymes

How can pathological conditions influence drug response? They always enhance drug effects They have no effect They can alter drug metabolism and excretion They only affect drug absorption

They can alter drug metabolism and excretion

Why is receptor sensitivity important in drug response? It determines the color of the drug It has no role in drug efficacy It affects the dose required for therapeutic effect It influences the packaging of the drug

It affects the dose required for therapeutic effect

How can genetic polymorphisms influence drug response? By changing the color of the drug By altering drug metabolism rates By increasing drug packaging costs By decreasing drug availability

By altering drug metabolism rates

What role does liver function play in drug response? It alters the taste of the drug It is irrelevant to drug metabolism It affects the metabolism and clearance of drugs It only affects the drug's appearance

It affects the metabolism and clearance of drugs

Which genetic factor can affect drug response by altering drug metabolism? Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) Epigenetic modifications Gene amplification Chromosomal translocations

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)

How does age impact drug response? Older adults have increased renal clearance Children metabolize drugs slower than adults Neonates have immature hepatic enzyme activity Adolescents have decreased drug absorption

Neonates have immature hepatic enzyme activity

What is the role of pharmacogenomics in drug response? It studies drug-drug interactions It analyzes lifestyle impacts on drug efficacy It identifies genetic variations influencing drug efficacy It examines environmental effects on drug metabolism

It identifies genetic variations influencing drug efficacy

How does renal function influence drug response? Increased drug absorption in renal insufficiency Decreased drug elimination in renal impairment Enhanced drug metabolism in chronic kidney disease Unaffected drug clearance in end-stage renal disease

Decreased drug elimination in renal impairment

What effect does liver disease have on drug response? Increased drug bioavailability due to decreased metabolism Enhanced drug clearance due to increased enzyme activity Reduced drug absorption due to altered gastrointestinal flora Stable drug levels due to unaffected hepatic function

Increased drug bioavailability due to decreased metabolism

How does stress affect drug response? By decreasing hepatic enzyme activity By increasing gastric emptying time By altering the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis By enhancing renal excretion

By altering the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis
