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 ...

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

Presynaptic muscarinic cholinergic receptors

Nature, 1978
IN the isolated rabbit heart, acetylcholine inhibits the release of noradrenaline evoked by nicotinic drugs1, by KCl (ref. 2) and by sympathetic nerve stimulation3. The release of noradrenaline in response to sympathetic nerve stimulation in the rabbit heart was found to be reduced by para-sympathomimetic agonists, and atropine antagonised this effect ...

Cholinergic receptors in corpora cavernosa

Urology, 1984
In a group of 13 patients who underwent penile surgery, a small amount of cavernosal tissue was removed and examined for content of cholinergic receptors. Three patients did not display any amount of cholinergic receptors. Values in the other 10 patients ranged from 34 to 136 femtomols.

Cholinergic receptors and neurodegenerative diseases

Pharmaceutica Acta Helvetiae, 2000
Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on cholinergic receptors and neurodegenerative diseases. Known as the “cholinergic hypothesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD),” this hypothesis has served as the main rationale for the development of anti-AD drugs, even if alternative approaches, such as the use of neurotrophic agents, nootropics, glutamate ...

Immunohistochemistry of cholinergic receptors

Anatomy and Embryology, 1992
Acetylcholine and its receptors are involved in a variety of important signal transduction processes. As shown here paradigmatically for the human neuromuscular junction and the cerebral cortex, acetylcholine receptors can be visualized immunohistochemically at the cellular and subcellular level under physiological and pathological conditions.

Muscarinic cholinergic receptor heterogeneity

Trends in Neurosciences, 1982
Abstract The relatively recent application of receptor binding techniques to muscarinic receptor pharmacology has provided new data that generally confirm classical ideas about agonist-receptor interactions and competitive antagonism. However, additional information regarding muscarinic receptor heterogeneity has been provided through [ 3 H]ligand ...
