Muscarinic receptors revisited

Trends in Neurosciences, 1983
Abstract 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 ocular surface

Current Opinion in Allergy & Clinical Immunology, 2006
A wide distribution of the eye's muscarinic receptor system has been found and several roles for the muscarinic system in the eye proposed, although functional consequences of muscarinic receptor activation are not always fully characterized. The present paper reviews current knowledge about the presence of muscarinic receptors in the ocular surface ...

Muscarinic receptors in the Mammalian Heart

Pharmacological Research, 2001
In 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 ...

Muscarinic receptors in human airways

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1995
Muscarinic 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.
