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.
The selective histamine type 2 receptor antagonists/blockers (H2 blockers) are widely used in the treatment of acid-peptic disease, including duodenal and gastric ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease and common heartburn.he selectivity of H2 blockers is of key importance, as they have little or no effect on the histamine type 1 receptors, which are blocked by typical antihistamines that are used to treat allergic reactions and have little effect on gastric acid production.
