KV7 Channels Regulate Firing during Synaptic Integration in GABAergic Striatal Neurons

Neural Plasticity, 2015
Striatal projection neurons (SPNs) process motor and cognitive information. Their activity is affected by Parkinson’s disease, in which dopamine concentration is decreased and acetylcholine concentration is increased.

Muscarinic receptor signaling in the pathophysiology of asthma and COPD

Respiratory Research, 2006
Anticholinergics are widely used for the treatment of COPD, and to a lesser extent for asthma. Primarily used as bronchodilators, they reverse the action of vagally derived acetylcholine on airway smooth muscle contraction.

Interaction of the Xanthine Nucleotide Binding Goα Mutant with G Protein-coupled Receptors [PDF]

, 1998
We constructed a double mutant version of the α subunit of Go that was regulated by xanthine nucleotides instead of guanine nucleotides (GoαX). We investigated the interaction between GoαX and G protein-coupled receptors in vitro.

Semi‐Mechanistic Population Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) Modeling of Dupilumab on Pre‐Bronchodilator Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) in Uncontrolled Moderate‐To‐Severe Asthma

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, we investigated the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationship of dupilumab as an add‐on therapy in the intent‐to‐treat (ITT) uncontrolled moderate‐to‐severe asthma population and identified the factors significantly contributing to variability in forced expiratory volume in 1 second; (FEV1).

The Forefront for Novel Therapeutic Agents Based on the Pathophysiology of Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction: Bladder Selectivity Based on In Vivo Drug–Receptor Binding Characteristics of Antimuscarinic Agents for Treatment of Overactive Bladder

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
We have reviewed the binding of antimuscarinic agents, used to treat urinary dysfunction in patients with overactive bladder, to muscarinic receptors in target and non-target tissues in vivo.

The involvement of cholinergic neurons in the spreading of tau pathology

Frontiers in Neurology, 2013
Long time ago, it was described the selective loss of cholinergic neurons during the development of Alzheimer disease. Recently, it has been suggested that tau protein may play a role in that loss of cholinergic neurons through a mechanism involving the ...

State-Dependent and -Independent Effects of Dialyzing Excitatory Neuromodulator Receptor Antagonists into the Ventral Respiratory Column [PDF]

, 2017
Unilateral dialysis of the broad-spectrum muscarinic receptor antagonist atropine (50 mM) into the ventral respiratory column [(VRC) including the pre-Bötzinger complex region] of awake goats increased pulmonary ventilation (V̇i) and breathing frequency (

Esophageal and Oropharyngeal Dysphagia: Clinical Recommendations From the United European Gastroenterology and European Society for Neurogastroenterology and Motility

United European Gastroenterology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dysphagia is a prevalent symptom of the upper gastrointestinal tract causing health related consequences, impacting quality of life and is associated with global economic burden. Swallowing difficulties are classified into oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) and esophageal dysphagia.
