2.1 Notions of agonism and antagonism
The first characteristic will enable us to define the notions of antagonism and agonism. Antagonistic actions correspond to opposite effects on certain receptors of these actions, while agonistic actions correspond to effects in the same direction on other receptors (or other parts of the same receptor).
