Metformin Improves Autonomic Nervous System Imbalance and Metabolic Dysfunction in Monosodium L-Glutamate-Treated Rats

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
Metformin is an antidiabetic drug used for the treatment of diabetes and metabolic diseases. Imbalance in the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is associated with metabolic diseases.

Effect of M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor deficiency on collagen antibody-induced arthritis [PDF]

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2016
Background: There is increasing evidence that the non-neuronal cholinergic system might be of importance for the pathology of rheumatoid arthritis. The role of M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M3R) in this regard has, however, not been investigated to date.

Spatial intensity distribution analysis: studies of G Protein-coupled receptor oligomerization [PDF]

, 2018
Spatial intensity distribution analysis (SpIDA) is a recently developed approach for determining quaternary structure information on fluorophore-labelled proteins of interest in situ. It can be applied to live or fixed cells and native tissue.

Molecular Cloning of m3 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor in Rat Iris.

Journal of Smooth Muscle Research, 1998
Muscarinic receptor subtypes that involved in cholinergic responses in rat iris were identified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis. mRNAs encoding m2, m3, and m4 subtypes were abundantly expressed in iris, whereas m1 and m5 subtypes were not detected.

Review article: pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of gastrointestinal involvement in systemic sclerosis. [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) involvement is a common cause of debilitating symptoms in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). There are no disease modifying therapies for this condition and the treatment remains symptomatic, largely owing to

Inhibition of cholinergic potentiation of insulin secretion from pancreatic islets by chronic elevation of glucose and fatty acids: Protection by casein kinase 2 inhibitor

Molecular Metabolism, 2017
Objectives: Chronic hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia are characteristic features of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) that are thought to cause or contribute to β-cell dysfunction by “glucolipotoxicity.” Previously we have shown that acute treatment of pancreatic ...

Functional M₃ muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in mammalian hearts [PDF]

British Journal of Pharmacology, 2004
In contrast to most peripheral tissues where multiple subtypes of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) coexist, with each of them playing its part in the orchestra of parasympathetic innervation, the myocardium has been traditionally considered to possess a single mAChR subtype.

Characterisation of the novel quinoline RCD405: Relaxant effects on cholinergic and histaminergic tone in human bronchi and small airways

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Increased contractility of human airway smooth muscle (hASM) is a hallmark of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Developing new classes of bronchodilators has proved to be challenging because of efficacy and safety concerns.
