Acetylcholine and cholinergic receptors. [PDF]
This review provides a distillate of the advances in knowledge about the neurotransmitter functions of acetylcholine over the 50-year period between 1967 and 2017, together with incremental information about the cognate nicotinic and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, and some brief comments on possible advances in the near future.

Nicotinic Cholinergic Receptors in VTA Glutamate Neurons Modulate Excitatory Transmission [PDF]
Summary: Ventral tegmental area (VTA) glutamate neurons are important components of reward circuitry, but whether they are subject to cholinergic modulation is unknown.

Biological Functions of Keratinocyte Cholinergic Receptors
Human epidermal keratinocytes possess cholinergic enzymes, which synthesize and degrade acetylcholine, and express both nicotinic and muscarinic classes of cholinergic receptors on their cell surfaces. These receptors bind acetylcholine and initiate cellular response.

Electrophysiology of T lymphocyte cholinergic receptors. [PDF]
The presence of functional muscarinic-cholinergic receptors on at least some T lymphocytes is suggested by the existence of saturable, high-affinity, specific muscarinic binding in T cell-enriched, but not in B cell-enriched, cell suspensions and by observed cholinergic effects on lymphocytes, (e.g., increased lytic capacity of cytotoxic lymphocytes ...

Adrenergic and Cholinergic Receptors of Cerebral Microvessels [PDF]
The presence of α- and β-adrenergic and muscarinic cholinergic receptors in cerebral microvessels of the rat and pig was assessed by ligand binding techniques. The results demonstrate the presence of specific binding to α2- and β-adrenergic receptors but no appreciable specific binding to α1-adrenergic or muscarinic cholinergic receptors.

Effects of cholinergic antagonists on ghrelin release and expression in the crop, proventriculus, and duodenum of newly hatched chickens [PDF]
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the cholinergic receptor antagonists on ghrelin (GHRL) expression and release from parts of the gastrointestinal system in an unique animal model—newly hatched chickens.

Beta-adrenergic and M-cholinergic receptor interactions in the pathogenesis of bronchial obstructive pulmonary diseases [PDF]
The crosstalk between the beta-2-adrenoceptor and M- cholinoreceptor systems in the airways plays one of the main roles in the pathogenesis of bronchoobstructive diseases.

Cholinergic Receptors in Cognitive Disorders [PDF]
Abstract:Cholinergic receptors (muscarinic subtypes M1 and M2, and putative nicotinic binding) have been examined in the hippocampus obtained at autopsy from a variety of patients with cognitive disorders (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's diseases, Down's Syndrome and alcoholic dementia) and compared with neurologically normal controls and ...
