Notes:

• Topics for the next exam will be steroids (sex) + cardiovascular drugs. It would also be wise to look over the steroid notes in general since questions may related to naming conventions and/or differences between the sex related steroids and adrenocorticoids, for example...

Access to (password protected) Class presentations and handouts

The first exam has been returned and most everyone did really well. Note however that the next exam may not be graded as easily and will likely be longer so come to class, ask questions and try to learn and understand the presented material!
