Mechanisms of Pilocarpine-Induced Nitric Oxide and Prostaglandin Production in Porcine Ciliary Muscle. [PDF]
FASEB BioadvPilocarpine activates M1 and M3 muscarinic receptors in porcine ciliary muscle, engaging calcium‐dependent phospholipase C (PLC), nitric oxide synthase (NOS), and cyclooxygenase (COX) pathways that increase prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis. Beyond nitric oxide (NO) modulation, PGE2 emerges as a key mediator linking muscarinic signaling to ciliary ...

Characterization of the positive and negative inotropic effects of acetylcholine in the human myocardium [PDF]
, 1995 In the human isolated myocardium, acetylcholine (10−9 to 10−3 M) elicited a biphasic inotropic effect (a decrease in the lower and an increase in the higher concentration range) in atrial and a positive inotropic effect in ventricular trabeculae. However,

Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Pathways in Cancer: From Psychiatric Clues to Therapeutic Opportunities. [PDF]
Cancer Rep (Hoboken)ABSTRACT Background The prevalence of cancer poses significant challenges to treatment, largely because of drug resistance along with other side effects. Current studies have been investigating the growth factors more than other biologic tumor features, such as neurobiologic features.

Histamine H1 Receptor Down-Regulation Mediated by M3 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Subtype
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2004 Heterologous down-regulation of histamine H1 receptor (H1R) mediated by muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtype was investigated using five kinds of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells stably co-expressing the human H1R and one of the five (M1 –M5 ...

An in vivo biosensor for neurotransmitter release and in situ receptor activity. [PDF]
, 2010 Tools from molecular biology, combined with in vivo optical imaging techniques, provide new mechanisms for noninvasively observing brain processes. Current approaches primarily probe cell-based variables, such as cytosolic calcium or membrane potential ...
