Direct modulation of TRPC ion channels by Gα proteins
Frontiers in PhysiologyGPCR-Gi protein pathways are involved in the regulation of vagus muscarinic pathway under physiological conditions and are closely associated with the regulation of internal visceral organs.

Journal of Neuroscience, 1991 mRNAs encoding five genetically distinct muscarinic ACh receptors are present in the CNS. Because of their pharmacological similarities, it has not been possible to detect the individual encoded proteins; thus, their physiological functions are not well ...

Ouabain‐induced hypertension in rats: Mechanisms, variability and translational implications
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Ouabain‐induced hypertension is a multifactorial and condition‐dependent phenomenon involving coordinated actions across vascular, renal and central nervous system pathways. At the vascular level, ouabain inhibits Na⁺/K⁺‐ATPase, particularly the α2‐isoform, leading to elevated intracellular Ca2⁺, enhanced vasoconstriction and structural ...

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2018 The muscarinic acetylcholine type 1 receptor (M1R) is a metabotropic G protein-coupled receptor. Knockout of M1R or exposure to selective or specific receptor antagonists elevates neurite outgrowth in adult sensory neurons and is therapeutic in diverse ...

Glial cells in the heart: Implications for their roles in health and disease
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Schematic representation of cardiac autonomic ganglia within epicardial fat pads (posterior heart surface shown), containing vagal postganglionic neuron cell bodies, associated fibres, and glia. These ganglia receive cholinergic input from vagal preganglionic neurons and adrenergic input from sympathetic postganglionic neurons ...

Fentanyl Disrupts Vagal Control of Airway Tone to Induce Transient Obstruction
Acta Physiologica, Volume 241, Issue 11, November 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Opioid‐induced respiratory depression (OIRD) is the primary cause of death in opioid overdose, resulting from both suppressed respiratory rhythm and increased airway and thoracic rigidity that compromise ventilation and resuscitation. While the effect(s) of opioids on central rhythm‐generating circuits are well documented, the mechanisms ...

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 21, Page 5286-5302, November 2025.Abstract Background and purpose Positive allosteric modulation of the P2X4 receptor is a potential route to providing cardiovascular benefit through enhancing flow‐dependent arterial vasodilation and providing cardioprotection. However, ligands that selectively enhance P2X4 activity are absent.

Regulation of Neuromodulator Receptor Efficacy - Implications for Whole-Neuron and Synaptic Plasticity [PDF]
, 2004 Membrane receptors for neuromodulators (NM) are highly regulated in their distribution and efficacy - a phenomenon which influences the individual cell's response to central signals of NM release.
