HL-1 cells express an inwardly rectifying K+ current activated via muscarinic receptors comparable to that in mouse atrial myocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
An inwardly rectifying K^+ current is present in atrial cardiac myocytes that is activated by acetylcholine (I_{KACh}). Physiologically, activation of the current in the SA node is important in slowing the heart rate with increased parasympathetic tone ...

Muscarinic Receptor Subtypes Mediating Positive and Negative Inotropy in the Developing Chick Ventricle

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2007
The inotropic response to muscarinic receptor stimulation of isolated chick ventricular myocardium was examined at various developmental stages, and the receptor subtype involved was pharmacologically characterized.

Novel role for proteinase-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) in membrane trafficking of proteinase-activated receptor 4 (PAR4) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Proteinase-activated receptors 4 (PAR4) is a class A G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) recognized through the ability of serine proteases such as thrombin and trypsin to mediate receptor activation.

Vitamin E can compensate the density of M1 receptors in the hippocampus of scopolamine-treated rats

open access: yesFolia Neuropathologica, 2018
M1 muscarinic receptor plays a fundamental role in memory and is closely associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD); it has long been assumed as a therapeutic goal. By activating of the cholinergic receptor vitamin E helps with memory retention.

Effects of muscarinic and nicotinic receptors on contextual modulation in macaque area V1

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Context affects the salience and visibility of image elements in visual scenes. Collinear flankers can enhance or decrease the perceptual and neuronal sensitivity to flanked stimuli. These effects are mediated through lateral interactions between neurons

Functional effects of KCNQ K+ channels in airway smooth muscle

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2013
KCNQ (Kv7) channels underlie a voltage-gated K+ current best known for control of neuronal excitability, and its inhibition by Gq/11-coupled, muscarinic signaling. Studies have indicated expression of KCNQ channels in airway smooth muscle (ASM), a tissue

Muscarinic receptor binding of fesoterodine, 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine, and tolterodine in rat tissues after the oral, intravenous, or intravesical administration

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2019
The present study aimed to characterize muscarinic receptor binding of fesoterodine, 5-hydroxymethyl tolterodine (5-HMT), and tolterodine in bladder and other tissues of rats after their oral, intravenous, or intravesical administration.

Additive interaction of intrathecal ginsenosides and neostigmine in the rat formalin test [PDF]

open access: yesKorean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2013
BackgroundThe authors evaluated the effect of intrathecal mixture of ginsenosides with neostigmine on formalin-induced nociception and made further clear the role of the spinal muscarinic (M) receptors on the activity of ginsenosides.MethodsA catheter ...

Distribution of Muscarinic Acethylcholine Receptors and Related Signal [PDF]

open access: yesTürk Biyokimya Dergisi, 2006
Muscarinic receptors are members of G protein coupled receptor family. Molecularcloning studies indicate five intronless genes that encode five muscarinic receptorglycoproteins.

Enhanced muscarinic M1 receptor gene expression in the corpus striatum of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Science, 2009
Acetylcholine (ACh), the first neurotransmitter to be identified, regulate the activities of central and peripheral functions through interactions with muscarinic receptors. Changes in muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) have been implicated in the
