Prefaces tend to be platitudinous and unconducive to perusal. To this hardened Editor, the
appearance of the book represents the end of a stamina-testing saga surpassing any past …

Since the earliest pharmacological studies, the cell membrane has been considered a likely

Receptors are those cellular structures with which biologically active hormones and drugs
first interact. Physiologically these receptors perform two essential functions. The first is that …

Receptors are macromolecules in or on cells that me-diate physiological responses upon
bindingspecific ligands. Over the past few years, important advances have been made in the …

receptor research. The observation that in the past led different investigators to the …

An understanding of drug action requires a molecular approach, since an active agent can
only induce a pharmacodynamic effect in a biological object as the result of an interaction …

Pharmacology is the science of receptors. This has been appreciated ever since
