Carbachol and Nicotine in Prefrontal Cortex Have Differential Effects on Sleep-Wake States
The role of the brainstem cholinergic system in the regulation of sleep-wake states has been studied extensively but relatively little is known about the role of cholinergic mechanisms in prefrontal cortex in the regulation of sleep-wake states.

Regulation of CCK-induced ERK1/2 activation by PKC epsilon in rat pancreatic acinar cells
The extracellular signal-regulated kinase ERK1/2 is activated in pancreatic acinar cells by cholecystokinin (CCK) and other secretagogues with this activation mediated primarily by protein kinase C (PKC).

Intracellular Ca2+ is critical for regulating airway smooth muscle (ASM) tension. A rapid rise in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) of ASM cells is crucial for modulating the intensity and length of the ASM contraction.

Autoantibodies against muscarinic receptors in breast cancer: their role in tumor angiogenesis. [PDF]
The presence of autoantibodies in cancer has become relevant in recent years. We demonstrated that autoantibodies purified from the sera of breast cancer patients activate muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in tumor cells.

Case report: Acute unintentional carbachol intoxication [PDF]
Abstract Introduction Intoxications with carbachol, a muscarinic cholinergic receptor agonist are rare. We report an interesting case investigating a (near) fatal poisoning. Methods The son of an 84-year-old male discovered a newspaper ...

Curcuma longa extract exerts a myorelaxant effect on the ileum and colon in a mouse experimental colitis model, independent of the anti-inflammatory effect. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Curcuma has long been used as an anti-inflammatory agent in inflammatory bowel disease. Since gastrointestinal motility is impaired in inflammatory states, the aim of this work was to evaluate if Curcuma Longa had any effect on intestinal ...
