check out G-proteins and cAMP. a faulty phosphodiesterase might cause this kind of problem if you ask me..

... corticotropin, lipotropin, vasopressin and specifically para-thyroid hormones and thyroid-stimulating hormones (TSH). When the amount of phosphodiesterase (which regulates the catabolism of cAMP) is increased, the active amounts of cAMP are reduced. Thus the effects of the above mentioned ...

... a signal transduction pathway that uses cAMP and it is turned off, you have to "recycle" all that cAMP. this is done by an enzyme named phosphodiesterase, that turns cAMP into regular AMP. However, this would be a catastory if the cell would be using ADP-AMP. All that generated AMP would ...

... vasopressin receptors. 3. A novel class of GPCRs are the photoreceptors. This class is coupled to a G-protein termed transducin that activates a phosphodiesterase which leads to a decrease in the level of cGMP. The drop in cGMP then results in the closing of a Na+/Ca2+ channel leading to hyperpolarization ...

... it via facilitated diffusion into the cytoplasm. Another level where caffeine function is that it inhibits the production of an enzyme named phosphodiesterase that results in cAMP not being recycled. About alcohol, all i know about influences on the cardiovascular system is that it determines ...
