Toxic Effect of Cigarette Smoke on Brainstem Nicotinic Receptor Expression: Primary Cause of Sudden Unexplained Perinatal Death

open access: yesToxics, 2018
Among the neurotoxicants contained in tobacco smoke, if absorbed during pregnancy, nicotine significantly affects α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which play essential roles in the development of the brainstem regions receiving cholinergic ...

Incorporation of acetylcholine receptors into liposomes. Vesicle structure and acetylcholine receptor function.

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1982
Functionally intact acetylcholine receptors can be solubilized from electric organ membranes of Torpedo californica and incorporated into liposomes by the cholate dialysis technique. Freezing and thawing of the reconstituted preparation appears to seal a population of initially leaky vesicles and leads to vesicle fusion.

Acetylcholine Receptors of Insects

open access: yes, 1980
Publisher Summary Insects have provided material well suited to the investigation of CNS acetylcholine receptors. The central nervous tissues of these organisms have proved amenable to both radiolabelled- ligand-binding studies and single-cell electrophysiology of identifiable neurones. Binding studies have resulted in the characterization in vitro

Effects of Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators on Plasma Membrane Estrogen Receptors and Catecholamine Synthesis and Secretion in Cultured Bovine Adrenal Medullary Cells

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2014
.: We previously reported the occurrence and function of plasma membrane estrogen receptors in cultured bovine adrenal medullary cells. Here we report the effects of raloxifene and tamoxifen, selective estrogen receptor modulators, on plasma membrane ...
