Muscarinic—but Not Nicotinic—Acetylcholine Receptors Mediate a Nitric Oxide-Dependent Dilation in Brain Cortical Arterioles: A Possible Role for the M5 Receptor Subtype [PDF]
Increases in cortical cerebral blood flow are induced by stimulation of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons. This response is mediated in part by nitric oxide (NO) and reportedly involves both nicotinic and muscarinic receptors, some of which are possibly located in the vessel wall.

Regulation of Src Family Tyrosine Kinases in the Rat Striatum by Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors [PDF]
Acetylcholine is an important neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain. This transmitter binds to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) to regulate activity of a variety of intracellular signaling molecules.

Urothelium muscarinic activation phosphorylates CBS Ser227 via cGMP/PKG pathway causing human bladder relaxation through H 2 S production [PDF]
The urothelium modulates detrusor activity through releasing factors whose nature has not been clearly defined. Here we have investigated the involvement of H2S as possible mediator released downstream following muscarinic (M) activation, by using human ...

G fehérjék szerepe a húgyhólyag simaizom-működésének szabályozásában. = G protein-mediated regulation of urinary smooth muscle contractility. [PDF]
Eredményeink szerint élettani körülmények között a Gq/11 jelátviteli út (vélhetőleg az M3-receptorok által aktiválva) döntő szerepet játszik az acetilkolin simaizom-kontrakciót okozó hatásának közvetítésében és ezáltal a húgyhólyag működésének ...

Due to the close connection between the autonomic nervous system and skeletal system, large amounts of evidence have shown that neuromodulation plays a crucial role in regulating bone metabolism. Clinically, neuromodulation has exhibited promising therapeutic effects in treating joint disorders by significantly reducing inflammation and clinical scores.

The membrane signaling properties of the neuronal type-5 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M5 AChR) as expressed in murine L cells were studied. Recipient Ltk- cells responded to ATP acting through a P2-purinergic receptor by increasing phosphoinositide hydrolysis 2-fold but were unresponsive to 17 receptor agonists that are stimulatory in other cells.
