Alzheimer’s Disease as a Membrane Disorder: Spatial Cross-Talk Among Beta-Amyloid Peptides, Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors and Lipid Rafts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Biological membranes show lateral and transverse asymmetric lipid distribution. Cholesterol (Chol) localizes in both hemilayers, but in the external one it is mostly condensed in lipid-ordered microdomains (raft domains), together with saturated ...

Quantification of atropine sulphate monohydrate and obidoxime dichloride in two‐chamber autoinjectors for accessing uniformity of dosage

open access: yesAnalytical Science Advances, Volume 3, Issue 11-12, Page 297-303, December 2022., 2022
Abstract In the treatment of organophosphate poisoning atropine sulphate monohydrate (AT) and obidoxime dichloride (OB) play a vital role. Currently, the Austrian Armed Forces use the DOUBLEPEN OA two‐chamber autoinjector (ChemProtect) to administer these two drugs.

Psychological stress induces an increase in cholinergic enteric neuromuscular pathways mediated by glucocorticoid receptors

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
IntroductionRepeated acute stress (RASt) is known to be associated with gastrointestinal dysfunctions. However, the mechanisms underlying these effects have not yet been fully understood.

On the excitation of action potentials by protons and its potential implications for cholinergic transmission [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
One of the most conserved mechanisms for transmission of a nerve pulse across a synapse relies on acetylcholine. Ever since the Nobel-prize winning works of Dale and Loewi, it has been assumed that acetylcholine - subsequent to its action on a postsynaptic cell - is split into inactive by-products by acetylcholinesterase.

The effects of novel 7-MEOTA-donepezil like hybrids and N-alkylated tacrine analogues in the treatment of quinuclidinyl benzilate-induced behavioural deficits in rats performing the multiple T-maze test

open access: yesBiomedical Papers, 2015
Aims: The number of approved drugs for the clinical treatment of Alzheimer disease remains limited. For this reason, there is extensive search for novel therapies.

Impaired muscarinic modulation of the rat prelimbic cortex in neuropathic pain is sexually dimorphic and associated with cold allodynia

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023
Cholinergic modulation of the brain cortex is critical for cognitive processes, and altered cholinergic modulation of the prefrontal cortex is emerging as an important mechanism of neuropathic pain.

Alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor signaling modulates ovine fetal brain astrocytes transcriptome in response to endotoxin [PDF]

open access: yesFront. Immunol. 2019, 2018
Neuroinflammation in utero may result in lifelong neurological disabilities. Astrocytes play a pivotal role, but the mechanisms are poorly understood. No early postnatal treatment strategies exist to enhance neuroprotective potential of astrocytes. We hypothesized that agonism on alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (alpha7nAChR) in fetal astrocytes
