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 ...

Basic and Clinical Aspects of Non-neuronal Acetylcholine: Overview of Non-neuronal Cholinergic Systems and Their Biological

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008
Acetylcholine (ACh) is a phylogenetically ancient molecule involved in cell-to-cell signaling in almost all life-forms on earth. Cholinergic components, including ACh, choline acetyltransferase, acetylcholinesterase, and muscarinic and nicotinic ACh ...

Anticholinergic Medication Burden Scales: A Systematic Review

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Anticholinergic burden refers to the cumulative anticholinergic effect of all medications taken by an individual. Anticholinergic burden scales help identify patients at risk of anticholinergic adverse effects and guide prescribing. However, substantial variation exists between scales, with no gold standard identified.

Association Between Cholinesterase Inhibitor‐Overactive Bladder Antimuscarinic Prescribing Cascade and Risk of Delirium and Falls Among Individuals Living With Dementia

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Prescribing cascades occur when cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI)‐induced urinary incontinence is misinterpreted as a new condition, leading to overactive bladder (OAB) antimuscarinic initiation. We evaluated whether the ChEI‐OAB antimuscarinic prescribing cascade was associated with delirium or falls compared with mirabegron in older

Acetylcholine-induced inhibition of presynaptic calcium signals and transmitter release in the frog neuromuscular junction

Frontiers in Physiology, 2016
Acetylcholine (ACh), released from axonal terminals of motor neurones in neuromuscular junctions regulates the efficacy of neurotransmission through activation of presynaptic nicotinic and muscarinic autoreceptors.

Diabetes-induced alterations in urothelium function:Enhanced ATP release and nerve-evoked contractions in the streptozotocin rat bladder [PDF]

, 2018
Up to 80% of patients with diabetes mellitus develop lower urinary tract complications, most commonly diabetic bladder dysfunction (DBD). The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of diabetes on the function of the inner bladder lining ...

Co‐pathologies and biological processes beyond amyloid‐beta and tau in people with Alzheimer's disease: Evidence from clinical cohort studies

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is neuropathologically defined by amyloid‐beta (Aβ) plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles. However, co‐pathologies and other pathobiological processes are involved in the pathogenesis of AD, contributing to neurodegeneration and clinical symptoms.

Multiple Residues in the Second Extracellular Loop Are Critical for M3 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Activation [PDF]

, 2007
Recent studies suggest that the second extracellular loop (o2 loop) of bovine rhodopsin and other class I G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) targeted by biogenic amine ligands folds deeply into the transmembrane receptor core where the binding of cis ...
