Experimental approaches to understanding the role of protein phosphorylation in the regulation of neuronal function [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
Studies by Earl Sutherland and his colleagues on hormonal regulation of the breakdown of glycogen in liver resulted in the discovery that the first step in the action of many hormones is to increase the synthesis of cAMP by activating adenylate cyclase ...

Genome‐Wide Assessment Reveals Ancestral Differences in Homozygosity Patterns Potentially Linked to Parkinson's Disease Etiology

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Recessive genetic variation and extended runs of homozygosity (ROHs) may contribute to the unexplained heritability of Parkinson's disease (PD), particularly in diverse and understudied populations. Objective We conducted the first large‐scale, multi‐ancestral investigation of PD to examine the impact of genome‐wide homozygosity on ...

Evaluation of Presynaptic Action of Depolarizing Neuromuscular Blocking Agents with Single Twitch Response in Vitro [PDF]

open access: yesKorean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2001
Background: This study was performed to evaluate the presynaptic effects of depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs by using slow and fast frequencies of indirect stimulation on partial twitch depression in vitro. Methods: A rat phrenic nerve hemidiaphragm was dissected and was mounted in an organ bath containing an oxygenated Krebs solution.

Slow Transit Constipation: Pathophysiological Perspectives and Management Updates

open access: yesJournal of Digestive Diseases, EarlyView.
Slow transit constipation (STC) is a complex neuromuscular disorder driven by interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) loss and enteric neuropathy. Diagnosis relies on objective transit testing while excluding pelvic floor dysfunction. Management follows a stepwise, phenotype‐driven approach, progressing from conventional laxatives to emerging targeted ...

A covalently bound photoisomerizable agonist. Comparison with reversibly bound agonists at electrophorus electroplaques [PDF]

open access: yes, 1980
After disulphide bonds are reduced with dithiothreitol, trans-3-(alpha-bromomethyl)-3’-[alpha-(trimethylammonium)methyl]azobenzene (trans-QBr) alkylates a sulfhydryl group on receptors.

Alkalinised lidocaine as an anaesthetic before onabotulinumtoxinA injections. a randomised trial

open access: yesBJU International, Volume 135, Issue 4, Page 638-647, April 2025.
Objectives To evaluate the effect of intravesical alkalinised lidocaine as an anaesthetic treatment on procedural pain during intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA (BTX‐A) injections for overactive bladder. Patients and Methods This single‐centre, randomised, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled two period crossover trial was conducted on women scheduled for ...

Changes in motor unit conduction velocity after unilateral lower‐limb suspension and active recovery are correlated with muscle ion channel gene expression

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The effects of muscle disuse on the propagation of action potentials along motor unit (MU) muscle fibres, a key process for effective muscle activation and force generation, remain poorly understood. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in action potential propagation and to identify biological factors influencing these changes ...

Interaction of magnesium sulphate with vecuronium-induced neuromuscular blockt [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We have investigated the interaction between magnesium sulphate 40 mg kg−1 i.v. and vecuronium. First, we determined the effect of pretreatment with magnesium on the potency of vecuronium using a single bolus dose-response technique.

EFFECTS OF NON-DEPOLARIZING NEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING AGENTS ON THE CARDIAC VAGUS NERVE IN THE GUINEAPIG

open access: yesBritish Journal of Anaesthesia, 1980
The ability of gallamine, metocurine, pancuronium, tubocurarine and atropine to block the response to postganglionic stimulation of the vagus nerve were measured in isolated, spontaneously beating guineapig atria. From analysis of the results in conjunction with those of earlier assays of concentrations that block effects of preganglionic vagal ...

Exercise during 14 days of head down tilt bedrest attenuates motor unit impairments in older humans

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Head‐down tilt bedrest (HDBR) models the effects of mechanical unloading on neuromuscular function. The efficacy of exercise in preserving motor unit (MU) function in older adults during HDBR remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of 14‐day HDBR on MU properties in older adults and the protective role of exercise.
