What's the difference between allergic and supersensitive?
Allergic
Definition:
Example Sentences:
Supersensitive
Definition:
(a.) Excessively sensitive; morbidly sensitive.
Example Sentences:
(1) At both 24 h and 1 week, the inflamed paw showed pronounced supersensitivity to the antinociceptive action of morphine against noxious pressure.
(2) Supersensitivity to noradrenaline was produced by both of the stereoisomers in isolated vas deferens of guinea-pigs although there was no difference in the activity.
(3) These results indicate that, contrary to a previous report, opioid receptors in the spinal cord display up-regulation and supersensitivity and are no different in this regard from supraspinal receptors.
(4) Chronically denervated muscles, being supersensitive, show non-specific loss of sensitivity with concentrations of acetylcholine too low to produce specific desensitization.
(5) Since the same dose of L-DOPA had no behavioral effect in vehicle injected rats, the responses to L-DOPA of both AL and PL 6-OHDA rats are examples of behavioral supersensitivity.
(6) Supersensitivity to circulating catecholamines may result from loss of presynaptic neuronal uptake or upregulation of postsynaptic beta-adrenergic receptors.
(7) Repeated ketanserin administration significantly reduced the DOI-induced ESR score by 46% when tested 24 or 48 h following cessation of antagonist administration but had no effect at 78 h. Recently, we reported that 48 h following either a single DOI injection or termination from repeated DOI or ketanserin administration the DOI-induced head-twitch response (HTR) in mice exhibited supersensitivity.
(8) Tardive dyskinesia may arise from neostriatal supersensitivity and supersensitivity psychosis may arise from mesolimbic supersensitivity in schizophrenics chronically treated with neuroleptics.
(9) The analysis of UV absorption spectra of sterolic extracts prepared from cells of different mutants showed that similar quality changes in sterol composition could be associated both with polyresistant an supersensitive phenotype.
(10) Chemical sympathectomy following 6-hydroxydopamine caused a marked supersensitivity to the catecholamines and NPY but obliterated the NPY-induced potentiation of the pressor effect of adrenaline.
(11) The atria exhibited supersensitivity after reserpine pretreatment (s.c. and i.p.)
(12) The patients with achalasia, pre- and postpneumatic dilatation, showed a supersensitivity to exogenous intravenous gastrin I, as compared with normals.
(13) The phenomena observed may indicate supersensitivity and a higher number of excitatory synapses in dark rats and subsensitivity and lower number of excitatory synapses in light rats.
(14) It is concluded that currently accepted modes of pharmacological therapy (classical neuroleptics) are in the short-term controlling the dopamine supersensitivity secondary to a deficiency, but contributing in the long-term to increase the dopamine deficiency, and so exacerbate the supersensitivity.
(15) The tub1-1 mutation itself causes a cold-sensitive cell-cycle arrest, and confers supersensitivity to the antimicrotubule drug benomyl.
(16) 1 Four hours after reserpine, rabbit aortic strips were supersensitive to acetylcholine, isoprenaline and noradrenaline.
(17) As expected, behavioral supersensitivity was observed in grouped and nonkiller lesioned rats.
(18) These results suggest that denervation supersensitivity at the postsynaptic D2 receptor is a basic condition for the development of dyskinesias, though they were slightly suppressed by the intracaudate injection of GABA, serotonin and met-enkephalin.
(19) The data may be interpreted in the light of dopaminergic and noradrenergic supersensitivity, for PRL and TSH, respectively.
(20) Since an increase in postsynaptic alpha 2-adrenoceptors due to 6-OH-DA-administration might have masked a loss of presynaptic alpha 2-adrenergic binding sites, rats were chronically treated with high doses of clonidine in order to prevent a possible supersensitivity of postsynaptic receptors.
