Histological Protection by Donepezil Against Neurodegeneration Induced by Ischemia–Reperfusion in the Rat Retina

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
Although a blockade of acetylcholine esterase has been reported to suppress neuronal cell death induced by exogenous glutamate and β-amyloid, information is still limited regarding the neuroprotective effects of the acetylcholine esterase inhibitor ...

Transient receptor potential canonical type 3 channels control the vascular contractility of mouse mesenteric arteries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Transient receptor potential canonical type 3 (TRPC3) channels are non-selective cation channels and regulate intracellular Ca2+ concentration. We examined the role of TRPC3 channels in agonist-, membrane depolarization (high K+)-, and mechanical ...

Conductance increases produced by bath application of cholinergic agonists to Electrophorus electroplaques [PDF]

open access: yes, 1975
When solutions containing agonists are applied to the innervated face of an Electrophorus electroplaque, the membrane's conductance increases. The agonist-induced conductance is increased at more negative membrane potentials.

Role of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in Alzheimer's disease pathology and treatment.

open access: yesNeuropharmacology, 2015
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the major form of senile dementia, characterized by neuronal loss, extracellular deposits, and neurofibrillary tangles. It is accompanied by a loss of cholinergic tone, and acetylcholine (ACh) levels in the brain, which were ...

Activation and allosteric modulation of a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor

open access: yesNature, 2013
Despite recent advances in crystallography and the availability of G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) structures, little is known about the mechanism of their activation process, as only the β2 adrenergic receptor (β2AR) and rhodopsin have been ...

Acetylcholine receptor antagonists in acute respiratory distress syndrome: much more than muscle relaxants

open access: yesCritical Care, 2018
Acetylcholine receptor antagonists have been shown to improve outcome in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. However, it is incompletely understood how these agents improve outcome.

The heartbreak of depression: 'Psycho-cardiac' coupling in myocardial infarction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Ample evidence identifies strong links between major depressive disorder (MDD) and both risk of ischemic or coronary heart disease (CHD) and resultant morbidity and mortality. The molecular mechanistic bases of these linkages are poorly defined. Systemic

Molecular blueprint of allosteric binding sites in a homologue of the agonist-binding domain of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2015
Significance In this study we take advantage of a recently described chimera of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and acetylcholine binding protein (AChBP), termed α7-AChBP.

Correlation of anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody levels and long-term outcomes of juvenile myasthenia gravis in Taiwan: a case control study

open access: yesBMC Neurology, 2019
Background Myasthenia gravis is the most common disease affecting the neuromuscular junction. The most common etiology among patients with juvenile myasthenia gravis is the production of antibodies against the acetylcholine receptor.
