Epinephrine and glucagon have which one of the following effects on glycogen metabolism in the liver? The net synthesis of glycogen is increased. Glycogen phosphorylase is activated whereas glycogen synthase is inactivated. Both glycogen phosphorylase and glycogen synthase are activated but at significantly different rates. Glycogen phosphorylase is inactivated whereas glycogen synthase is activated. cAMP-dependent protein kinase is activated whereas phosphorylase kinase is inactivated.

Many pharmaceutical compounds inhibit or activate proteins in G-protein coupled receptor signaling pathways. Several of these are cAMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors. Which of the following would you expect to increase in liver cells as a side effect of treatment with PDE inhibitors? (Select all that apply!) Glycogen synthase activity cAMP levels Protein Phosphatase-1 activity Adenylate cyclase activity Glycogen phosphorylase activity glucose production

1. How important is knowing, familiarizing and understanding various drugs and their specific targets in the body? 2. Small G-proteins like Ras have an autocatalytic property. What does this mean and what consequences would there be (if any) should that property be lost? 3. The enzyme cAMP phosphodiesterase hydrolyses cAMP to AMP. What effect would an inhibitor of this enzyme have on glucose-1-phosphate production? 4. Explain the distinction between a binding site and a binding region. 5. Differentiate drug action, drug response, and drug effect.
