Gastrin-Releasing Peptide Facilitates Cholinergically Mediated Contractions of the Mouse Gastric Fundus. [PDF]
Pharmacol Res PerspectGastrin‐releasing peptide concentration‐dependently potentiates the cholinergic contractions of mouse gastric fundus circular muscle evoked by electric field stimulation. ABSTRACT Gastrin‐releasing peptide (GRP) and neuromedin B (NMB) are found in the stomach's myenteric plexus and muscular layers.

Water Drinking Behavior Associated with Aversive Arousal in Rats: An Integrative Approach
Brain Sciences, 2022 Cholinergic muscarinic stimulation of vast areas of the limbic brain induced a well-documented polydipsia in laboratory rats. This excessive water-drinking behavior has not received any convincing biological and physiological interpretation for the last ...

Carbachol increases intracellular free calcium concentrations in human granulosa-lutein cells [PDF]
, 1992 We investigated whether the stimulation of human granulosa-lutein cells with muscarinic and nicotinic receptor agonists can cause increases in intracellular free calcium (Ca2+), using Fura-2 microfluorimetry.
