While a plant-based meal would qualify as vegan (adjective), a person who follows a plant-based (vegan) diet is not necessarily a vegan (noun). For example, someone could follow a plant-based diet but still wear leather and have no moral issue with hunting or killing animals for food.
Ball-and-stick model of cimetidine, the prototypical H 2 -receptor antagonist. The H2 receptor antagonists are a class of drugs used to block the action of histamine on parietal cells (specifically the histamine H2 receptors) in the stomach, decreasing the production of acid by these cells.he H 2 antagonists are competitive antagonists of histamine at the parietal cell H 2 receptor. They suppress the normal secretion of acid by parietal cells and the meal-stimulated secretion of acid.
Histamine H2-receptor antagonists are a unique class of compounds. Pharmacologically they are characterised as a family by their ability to inhibit the secretion of gastric acid, and kinetically they are classified as a family by their similarity in absorption, distribution and elimination.his implies a rapid equilibration between drug concentration in plasma and at the site of action, and a reversible drug-receptor interaction. Success in correlating the plasma concentration of H2-receptor antagonists and their pharmacological effects stems from reliable and precise measurement of both items.
