Example sentences for: efficacies

How can you use “efficacies” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

A well-defined receptor expression system was used to characterize the activation profiles of a set of opioid ligands and to compare the efficacies and potencies of these ligands at μ opioid receptors.
Comparison of the efficacies of the set of agonists in this study to that of the endogenous ligand, met-enkephalin, showed that all were full agonists.
The present set of ligands exhibited a range of efficacies and potencies.
Thus the present study was designed, (1) to describe the activation profiles of a set of opioid ligands not previously defined at an isolated cell system expressing only δ opioid receptors, and (2) to compare the relative efficacies and potencies of these ligands to the strongest ligand in the set, metazocine, to the common opioid analgesic, morphine and to the endogenous δ opioid ligand, met-enkephalin.
All other ligands studied showed agonism at μ opioid receptor with varying maximal effects or efficacies ranging from 29% - 71% (Table 1).
