Muscarinic receptors revisited
Trends in Neurosciences, 1983Abstract It is now thought that muscarinic acetylcholine receptors are not identical, and the evidence for this is reviewed briefly, with emphasis on functional studies. In the brain, there is evidence that different subtypes of muscarinic receptors are localized in different regions and there are early suggestions that these may have distinct ...

Muscarinic receptors in the Mammalian Heart
Pharmacological Research, 2001In the mammalian heart, cardiac function is under the control of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. All regions of the mammalian heart are innervated by parasympathetic (vagal) nerves, although the supraventricular tissues are more densely innervated than the ventricles.

CNS muscarinic receptors and muscarinic receptor agonists in Alzheimer disease treatment
This review explores the main aspects that form the basis of the cholinergic-oriented treatment of Alzheimer disease. Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes in the brain and periphery are discussed. It includes a new and updated overview of the involvement of muscarinic receptors in Alzheimer disease and the recent development of new and highly ...Abraham, Fisher, Allan I, Levey

Muscarinic receptors in human airways
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1995Muscarinic receptors play a double role in airway disorders, mediating an increase in mucus secretion, as well as constriction of smooth muscle. Cholinergic activity of the lung is more pronounced in large than in peripheral airways; in the nose parasympathetic stimulation leads to hypersecretion and vasodilation.

Introduction to muscarinic receptors
1996Publisher Summary This chapter introduces muscarinic receptors. The muscarinic system is one of the earliest established components of the nervous system. Its pharmacology was already well defined over one hundred years ago using poisons or medicinal agents of the time, the natural products muscarine pilocarpine, atropine and physostigmine.
