In vitro Comparison of the Intrinsic Activity of Functional Antagonism between β-agonists and Spasmogens in the Guinea-pig Tracheal Muscle

open access: yesAllergology International, 2005
Background: The bronchodilating action of β-agonists depends on the tone of airway smooth muscle or on spasmogen. To estimate the precise intrinsic activity of β-agonists, relaxation responses should be examined on maximally contracted airway smooth ...

Functional Activation of G-Proteins Coupled With Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors in Rat Brain Membranes

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2014
.: The functional activation of Gi/o proteins coupled to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) was investigated with the conventional guanosine-5′-O-(3-[35S]thio)triphosphate ([35S]GTPγS) binding assay in rat brain membranes.

Simultaneous release of glutamate and acetylcholine from single magnocellular "cholinergic" basal forebrain neurons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Basal forebrain (BF) neurons provide the principal cholinergic drive to the hippocampus and cortex. Their degeneration is associated with the cognitive defects of Alzheimer's disease. Immunohistochemical studies suggest that some of these neurons contain
