Non-neuronal regulation and repertoire of cholinergic receptors in organs
Many studies on the cholinergic pathway have indicated that cholinergic receptors, which are widely expressed in various cells, play an important role in all body organs.

Effect of cholinergic and anticholinergic agents on tardive dyskinesia [PDF]
Tardive dyskinesia, like several other choreiform disorders, is felt to be primarily related to dopaminergic activity within the striatum. Physostigmine has been demonstrated to improve the abnormal movements in patients with tardive dyskinesia while scopolamine tends to aggravate abnormal movements and in some cases elicits abnormal movement not ...

1. The cholinesterase inhibitors neostigmine, edrophonium and eserine (7 x 10(-7) M) reduced m.e.p.p. frequency by some 50% at the frog neuromuscular junction. Neostigmine also produced a small reduction in quantal content.

Cholinergic Agents Modulate Transport in the Isolated, Perfused Ileum
The mammalian small intestine is extensively innervated by cholinergic nerve fibers, including projections to the muscular and submucosal layers. This study tested the hypothesis that cholinergic agents modulate ileal transport independent of alterations in intestinal vascular resistance and motility.

Reducing cholinergic constriction: the major reversible mechanism in COPD
The airway narrowing in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has often been misunderstood as being irreversible. However, a large proportion of patients with COPD do respond to bronchodilator agents with significant changes in lung function ...

Response of urinary bladder to cholinergic and adrenergic agents. [PDF]
1977-01The pharmacologic response of bladder muscle strip of albino rabbits was studied in vitro. The effect of cholinergic and adrenergic agents and their antagonists were demonstrated with a log dose-response curve.

Pharmacogenetic stimulation of cholinergic pedunculopontine neurons reverses motor deficits in a rat model of Parkinson's disease [PDF]
Background Patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) often present with axial symptoms, including postural- and gait difficulties that respond poorly to dopaminergic agents.
