Activation of M3 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors Delayed Cardiac Aging by Inhibiting the Caspase-1/IL-1β Signaling Pathway

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2018
Background/Aims: Because the prevalence of age-related cardiac impairment increases as the human lifespan increases, it is important to combat the effects of aging.

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 ...

The M3 muscarinic receptor is required for optimal adaptive immunity to helminth and bacterial infection.

PLoS Pathogens, 2015
Innate immunity is regulated by cholinergic signalling through nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. We show here that signalling through the M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M3R) plays an important role in adaptive immunity to both Nippostrongylus ...

Intestinal epithelial stem/progenitor cells are controlled by mucosal afferent nerves. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: The maintenance of the intestinal epithelium is of great importance for the survival of the organism. A possible nervous control of epithelial cell renewal was studied in rats and mice.

Parasympathetic overdrive as a cause of overactive bladder in a high‐fat‐diet‐induced obesity mouse model

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are well‐known major risk factors for overactive bladder (OAB). Mechanisms underlying obesity‐/MetS‐associated OAB were explored using a high‐fat‐diet (HFD)‐induced obesity mouse model. HFD‐induced obesity/MetS mice developed an OAB phenotype characterized by enlarged non‐voiding contractions

Autoantibodies to beta-adrenergic and muscarinic cholinergic receptors in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) patients – A validation study in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid from two Swedish cohorts

Brain, Behavior, & Immunity - Health, 2020
Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) also known as ME/CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) or ME/SEID (Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disorder), is a disabling and often long-lasting disease that can drastically impair quality of life and physical/social functioning ...

Acetylcholine Receptor Stimulation Activates Protein Kinase C Mediated Internalization of the Dopamine Transporter

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021
The dopamine transporter (DAT) clears neurotransmitters from the extracellular space and serves as an important regulator of signal amplitude and duration at sites of dopamine release. Several different intracellular signaling pathways have been observed

Don't Sweat It: Cannabinoid CB1 Receptors Reduce Sweating in a Mouse Model

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 12, 30 June 2026.
A new galvanic skin response‐based approach offers a simple method for measuring sweating in the paws of mice. This method is used to demonstrate that cannabinoid CB1 receptors reduce baseline sweating in mice, likely via inhibition of sympathetic acetylcholine release via axonal CB1 receptors.
