| I was reading about different meds the other day and got confused about how receptor agonists and antagonists actually work. Funny enough, I first came across those terms when my cousin was trying to explain why some supplements gave him energy while others kind of blocked effects. I get that one activates something and the other blocks it, but can anyone explain in simple words what the real difference is? | |

| Yeah, I’ve run into the same confusion before. Basically, agonists mimic natural signals and “turn on” the receptor, while antagonists block the receptor so it doesn’t react. When I was learning about growth hormones, I found a clear explanation on hgh world
. It helped me understand why some meds made me feel more alert, while others just kept things calm. | |

What is the difference between receptor agonists and antagonists?
