- The Concise Guide to PHARMACOLOGY 2021/22 is the fifth in this series of biennial publications. The Concise Guide provides concise overviews, mostly in tabular format, of the key properties of nearly 1900 human drug targets with an emphasis on selective pharmacology (where available), plus links to the open access knowledgebase source of drug targets and their ligands (www.guidetopharmacology.org), which provides more detailed views of target and ligand properties. Although the Concise Guide constitutes over 500 pages, the material presented is substantially reduced compared to information and links presented on the website. It provides a permanent, citable, point-in-time record that will survive database updates. The full contents of this section can be found at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/bph.15538. G protein-coupled receptors are one of the six major pharmacological targets into which the Guide is divided, with the others being: ion channels, nuclear hormone receptors, catalytic receptors, enzymes and transporters. These are presented with nomenclature guidance and summary information on the best available pharmacological tools, alongside key references and suggestions for further reading. The landscape format of the Concise Guide is designed to facilitate comparison of related targets from material contemporary to mid-2021, and supersedes data presented in the 2019/20, 2017/18, 2015/16 and 2013/14 Concise Guides and previous Guides to Receptors and Channels. It is produced in close conjunction with the Nomenclature and Standards Committee of the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (NC-IUPHAR), therefore, providing official IUPHAR classification and nomenclature for human drug targets, where appropriate.

- The Concise Guide to PHARMACOLOGY 2023/24 is the sixth in this series of biennial publications. The Concise Guide provides concise overviews, mostly in tabular format, of the key properties of approximately 1800 drug targets, and about 6000 interactions with about 3900 ligands. There is an emphasis on selective pharmacology (where available), plus links to the open access knowledgebase source of drug targets and their ligands (), which provides more detailed views of target and ligand properties.

- Background: Chronic liver disease (CLD) is associated with muscle wasting, reduced exercise tolerance and aerobic capacity (AC). Measures of AC determined using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) may predict post liver transplant (LT) survival, but relation to non-transplant outcome is uncertain. In patients assessed for LT we examined the relation of CPET AC parameters to severity of liver disease, nutritional state and survival with and without LT.Patients and Methods:Patients assessed for elective first LT for who underwent CPET and anthropometric assessment at a single centre were studied. CPET-derived measures of AC evaluated were peak oxygen consumption (VO2 -peak) and Anaerobic Threshold (AT).Results:399 patients underwent CPET and 223 LT; 45% of patients had VO2 -peak <50% predicted and 31% AT<9ml/kg/min. VO2 -peak and AT correlated with MELD but more closely with serum sodium and albumin. Hand grip strength correlated strongly with VO2 -peak. Patients with impaired AC had prolonged post-LT hospitalisation and 1-year post-transplantation non-survivors had lower AT than survivors (p<0.05), significant on multivariate analysis. 176 patients did not undergo LT; 1-year mortality was 34.6%. AT (p<0.05) and VO2 -peak (p<0.001) were lower in non-survivors. On multivariate analysis, AT was independently associated with non-survival.Conclusions:Aerobic capacity is markedly impaired in many patients with CLD. In those not transplanted, impaired AT was predictive of mortality and in those undergoing LT related to post-operative hospitalisation and survival. AC should be evaluated as a modifiable factor to improve patient survival, whether or not LT is anticipated.
