The Impact of Removal of Ovarian Hormones on Cholinergic Muscarinic Receptors: Examining Prepulse Inhibition and Receptor Binding

Brain Sciences, 2020
Ovarian hormones, such as estrogens and progesterone, are known to exert beneficial effects on cognition and some psychiatric disorders. The basis of these effects is not fully understood, but may involve altered cholinergic neurotransmission. This study

Functional neuroanatomy of basal forebrain projections to the basolateral amygdala: Transmitters, receptors, and neuronal subpopulations

Journal of Neuroscience Research, Volume 102, Issue 3, March 2024.
Diagram illustrating the innervation of basolateral amygdalar pyramidal projection neurons (PN) and parvalbumin‐expressing interneurons (PV) by cholinergic (ACh) and GABAergic neurons of the basal forebrain, including what is known about the distribution of muscarinic receptors (M1 and M2) expressed by these structures, as well as cortical and thalamic

Behavioral effects of Bj-PRO-7a, a proline-rich oligopeptide from Bothrops jararaca venom [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research
The heptapeptide Bj-PRO-7a, isolated and identified from Bothrops jararaca (Bj) venom, produces antihypertensive and other cardiovascular effects that are independent on angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition, possibly relying on cholinergic muscarinic

Poly (ADP-Ribose) Polymerase-1 (PARP1) Deficiency and Pharmacological Inhibition by Pirenzepine Protects From Cisplatin-Induced Ototoxicity Without Affecting Antitumor Efficacy

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
Cisplatin remains an indispensable drug for the systemic treatment of many solid tumors. However, a major dose-limiting side-effect is ototoxicity. In some scenarios, such as treatment of germ cell tumors or adjuvant therapy of non-small cell lung cancer,

Effects of cholecystokinin-octapeptide and cerulein on ovine digestive motility under cholinergic blockade

European Journal of Biological Research, 2017
In sheep, contribution of cholinergic system to the control of gastrointestinal motility by cholecystokinin is unknown. Accordingly, in six non-fasted rams chronic experiments were conducted and the myoelectrical activity of abomasal antrum, duodenum and

Cholinergic Regulation of Orexin/Hypocretin Neurons Through M3Muscarinic Receptor in Mice

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008
The cholinergic system plays an important role in regulation of arousal and REM sleep. In the present study, we showed that a muscarinic receptor agonist, carbachol (CCh), activates almost 20% of orexin-producing neurons (orexin neurons), which play a ...
