Position of anticholinergic drugs in the treatment of childhood asthma [PDF]

Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2010
Anticholinergic drugs block muscarinic effect of acetylcholine on the receptors of postjunctional membranes and so inhibit the answer of the postganglionic parasympathetic nerve.

Enteric dysfunctions in experimental Parkinson's disease: alterations of excitatory cholinergic neurotransmission regulating colonic motility in rats [PDF]

, 2016
Parkinson's disease (PD) is frequently associated with gastrointestinal symptoms, mostly represented by constipation and defecatory dysfunctions.

Cholinergic System Changes in Dopa‐Unresponsive Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Freezing of gait (FoG) is a debilitating mobility disturbance that becomes increasingly resistant to dopaminergic pharmacotherapies with advancing Parkinson's disease (PD). The pathophysiology underlying the response of FoG to dopaminergic treatment is poorly understood.

Peripheral muscarinic receptors mediate the anti-inflammatory effects of auricular acupuncture

Chinese Medicine, 2011
Background The cholinergic and opioid systems play important roles in modulating inflammation. This study tests whether auricular acupuncture (AA) produces anti-inflammatory effects via opioid and peripheral cholinergic receptors in a rat model.

The NALCN ion channel is activated by M3 muscarinic receptors in a pancreatic β-cell line

EMBO Reports, 2009
A previously uncharacterized putative ion channel, NALCN (sodium leak channel, non‐selective), has been recently shown to be responsible for the tetrodotoxin (TTX)‐resistant sodium leak current implicated in the regulation of neuronal excitability. Here,

Molecular Tools to Study and Control Dopaminergic Neurotransmission With Light

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dopaminergic neurotransmission is involved in several important brain functions, such as motor control, learning, reward‐motivated behavior, and emotions. Dysfunctions of dopaminergic system may lead to the development of various neurological and psychiatric disorders, like Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, depression, and addictions ...

β3‐Adrenoceptor Agonist Effects on the Urinary Bladder Beyond Detrusor Relaxation

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims β3‐Adrenoceptor agonists such as mirabegron or vibegron reach pharmacokinetic steady‐state within a few days. However, maximum improvements in symptoms of the overactive bladder syndrome are reached at time points later than 4 weeks, that is, detrusor smooth muscle relaxation cannot fully explain clinical effects.

The Spinal Muscarinic M1 Receptors and GABAA Receptors Contribute to the McN-A-343–Induced Antinociceptive Effects During Thermal Stimulation of Mice

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008
The present study was undertaken to clarify how spinal muscarinic receptors are involved in the antinociceptive effects in thermal stimulation. Intrathecal (i.t.) injection of the muscarinic agonist McN-A-343 inhibited the tail-flick response to noxious ...

Cholinergic modulation of dopamine overflow in the rat neostriatum: A fast cyclic voltammetric study in vitro [PDF]

, 1994
Stimulus-evoked dopamine overflow in rat neostriatal slices was determined using fast cyclic voltammetry. The dopamine efflux induced by intrastriatal stimulation increased with stimulus intensity and was found to be enhanced by more than 100% upon ...

The Clinical Significance of the Subtypes of Detrusor Overactivity: A Systematic Review

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Detrusor overactivity (DO) is the “occurrence of detrusor contraction(s) during filling cystometry” [7] and can be “phasic” or “terminal” [26]. The aim of this systematic review was to establish whether there is any clinical significance between the different subtypes of DO in terms of demographics, underlying pathophysiology ...
