Cholinergic receptors

Critical Care Nurse, 1990
Abstract Acetylcholine is used as a chemical transmitter at several parts of the peripheral and central nervous systems that are crucial for the functioning of the autonomic nervous system. The preganglionic neurons of both divisions of the autonomic nervous system release acetylcholine as their neurotransmitter; it is also used by ...

Adrenergic and Cholinergic Receptors of Cerebral Microvessels [PDF]

Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism, 1981
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.

Acetylcarnitine and Cholinergic Receptors

Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1980
Acetylcarnitine, a naturally occurring compound found in high concentration in heart and skeletal muscle of vertebrates, bears structural resemblance to acetylcholine, and studies have shown that it has slight cholinergic properties. Acetylcarnitine was subjected to conformational analysis by extended Hückel theory (EHT) and complete neglect of ...

Cholinergic Receptors and Addiction

2020
Human behavior can be controlled by physical or psychological dependencies associated with addiction. One of the most insidious addictions in our society is the use of tobacco products which contain nicotine. This addiction can be associated with specific receptors in the brain that respond to the natural neurotransmitter acetylcholine. These nicotinic

Cholinergic receptors in aging and Alzheimer's disease

Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry, 1986
Although Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a disorder involving multiple neurotransmitter systems, the basal forebrain cholinergic system (Ch system) is severely and consistently affected in this condition. In both animals and man, the nature of age-associated alterations in the Ch system is unclear. In addition, available studies of cholinergic receptors in

Studies on the nature of the cholinergic receptor

European Journal of Pharmacology, 1968
Abstract The effects of a number of proteolytic enzymes on the acetylcholine sensitivity of the chronically deniervated musue membrane and on the cholinesterase activity of the innervated end-plate were examined. None of the enzymes affected the acetylcholine sensitivity, but all of them inactivated cholinesterase.
