Is muscarinic receptor agonist effective and tolerant for schizophrenia?

BMC Psychiatry
Background Several randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have recently examined the efficacy and tolerability of muscarinic receptor agonists in schizophrenia. However, whether therapeutics targeting muscarinic receptors improve symptom management and reduce

Pathophysiology and emerging treatments for dermographic, cholinergic and cold urticaria

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
This review illustrates key proposed mast cell‐mediated activation pathways in dermographic, cholinergic and cold urticaria, highlighting IgE‐dependent and ‐independent mechanisms. These pathways are increasingly targeted by emerging drugs, aiming to interrupt mast cell activation and mediator release, offering more precise, mechanism‐based treatment ...

Arctic lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) show evidence of seasonal acclimation of cardiac adrenergic sensitivity but not heat tolerance

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many Arctic fishes experience prolonged periods of extreme cold and large thermal variation over both rapid and seasonal time scales which challenge critical physiological functions. In the central Canadian Arctic, we caught wild adult lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) acclimatized to winter and summer temperatures to determine the extent to ...

Lower density of calretinin‐immunopositive neurons in the putamen of subjects with schizophrenia

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 4, Page 505-516, April 2025.
Recent neuroimaging and histological studies highlight the striatum as a key area involved in SCH, but the specific impairment of neuronal subtypes in subcortical structures is not fully understood. This study is the first detailed investigation of neuroanatomical changes in the putamen in SCH, specifically examining the density of calretinin ...

Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and airway diseases

, 2003
Parasympathetic nerves provide the dominant autonomic innervation of the airways. Release of acetylcholine from parasympathetic nerves activates postjunctional muscarinic receptors present on airway smooth muscle, submucosal glands, and blood vessels to ...

Lack of Efficacy of Low‐Dose Cyclobenzaprine on Electromyographic Activity Related to Sleep Bruxism: A Randomized Crossover Double‐Blind Placebo‐Controlled Clinical Trial

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep bruxism (SB) is a motor activity characterized by repetitive masticatory muscle contractions during sleep, commonly associated with tooth damage and jaw pain or headache. Pharmacological management strategies targeting its central nervous system‐related mechanisms remain limited.

AQP1 Corrects Acinar Cells’ Secretion Deficits in Sjögren's Disease

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Sjögren's disease (SjD) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by dry mouth, dry eyes, and profound fatigue. Preclinical studies suggest that AQP1 gene expression in salivary glands corrects salivary hypofunction in preclinical and clinical studies of radiation‐induced xerostomia and improves salivary and lacrimal function

Effects of Pistacia lentiscus Leaf‐Twig and Resin (Mastic) Oils on Salivary Flow in Healthy Individuals

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Pistacia lentiscus L. tree is known for its aromatic mastic gum containing terpenes α‐pinene and β‐myrcene, and has been applied as a traditional remedy in oral care for centuries. Previously, intranasal exposure to mastic resin volatiles increased salivary flow in healthy and dry‐mouth individuals. This study assessed the biological

Story of Muscarinic Receptors, Alkaloids with Muscarinic Significance and of Muscarinic Functions and Behaviors

, 2019
This review of the studies of the muscarinic receptors, their synaptic activities and their functional and behavioral roles will begin with the history of the research of the autonomic and central nervous systems and their transmitters, the development ...
