Example sentences for: potencies

How can you use “potencies” 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.
The other ligands, met-enkephalin, WIN 44,441, hydromorphone and Butorphanol, exhibited potencies of 10-100 nM; metazocine and SKF 10047, 100-200 nM, and nalbuphine, dezocine and morphine, 400-1000 nM.
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.
The results obtained from this study will serve to define the relative efficacies and potencies of a set of opioid ligands compared to one another and differentiate between the full and partial agonists at δ opioid receptors.
The maximum effect of BW373U86 has been reported to be 70 ± 9% with IC 50 of 0.9 nM [ 21 ] . Some ligands that exhibited very low potencies in this study, such as fentanyl or metazocine, were amongst the most efficacious ligands tested suggesting that these ligands are capable of maximally activating δ opioid receptors.
