Effects of AF-DX116 and Other Muscarinic Receptor Antagonists on Orthostatic Hypotension in Autonomic Imbalanced (SART-Stressed) Rats

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2005
SART (specific alternation of rhythm in temperature)-stressed rats are an animal model of autonomic imbalance created by exposing animals to repeated cold stress. The SART-stressed rats have been shown to easily develop orthostatic hypotension (OH).

Ouabain‐induced hypertension in rats: Mechanisms, variability and translational implications

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 3, Page 653-673, 1 March 2026.
Abstract Ouabain‐induced hypertension is a multifactorial and condition‐dependent phenomenon involving coordinated actions across vascular, renal and central nervous system pathways. At the vascular level, ouabain inhibits Na⁺/K⁺‐ATPase, particularly the α2‐isoform, leading to elevated intracellular Ca2⁺, enhanced vasoconstriction and structural ...

Does mammalian heart contain only the m2 muscarinic receptor subtype?

open access: yesLife Sciences, 1997
Five muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) subtypes, m1-m5, have been cloned and sequenced to date. The question as to which mAChR subtypes exist in mammalian heart has been studied extensively and is still under considerable debate. We used the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction to amplify mRNA from adult rat ventricular myocytes, and

The G alpha q and G alpha 11 proteins couple the thyrotropin-releasing hormone receptor to phospholipase C in GH3 rat pituitary cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Thyrotropin-releasing hormone stimulates the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) in GH3 cell membranes. The stimulation of the phosphoinositide phospholipase C (PI/PLC) activity can be blocked by incubation of GH3 membranes with ...

Are Agonistic Autoantibodies against G-Protein Coupled Receptors Involved in the Development of Long-Term Side Effects of Tumor Chemotherapy?

open access: yesCase Reports in Oncology, 2013
Metabolic syndrome and cardiomyopathies are long-term consequences of chemo- and radiotherapy and develop long after completing the initial tumor treatment. The slow progression of such late effects might be an indication of the involvement of autoimmune

Targetable Effects of the Anesthetic, Ubiquinone‐5, on Murine Cardiac Rhythm

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
The novel anesthetic, ubiquinone‐5 (Ub5), causes second‐degree heart block, in part, by compromising the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ) in cardiomyocytes. Ub5‐mediated inhibition of electron transport and induction of excessive proton leak via the aspartate–glutamate carrier, Aralar, prevent mitochondria from generating and maintaining an ...

Interactions between the neuromodulatory systems and the amygdala: exploratory survey using the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Neuromodulatory systems originate in nuclei localized in the subcortical region of the brain and control fundamental behaviors by interacting with many areas of the central nervous system.

Pertussis Toxin-sensitive Activation of Phospholipase C by the C5a and fMet-Leu-Phe Receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Signal transduction pathways that mediate C5a and fMet-Leu-Phe (fMLP)-induced pertussis toxin (PTx)-sensitive activation of phospholipase C (PLC) have been investigated using a cotransfection assay system in COS-7 cells.

The heartbreak of depression: 'Psycho-cardiac' coupling in myocardial infarction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Ample evidence identifies strong links between major depressive disorder (MDD) and both risk of ischemic or coronary heart disease (CHD) and resultant morbidity and mortality. The molecular mechanistic bases of these linkages are poorly defined. Systemic

Role of M2 muscarinic receptors in airway smooth muscle contraction

open access: yesLife Sciences, 1999
Airway smooth muscle expresses both M2 and M3 muscarinic receptors with the majority of the receptors of the M2 subtype. Activation of M3 receptors, which couple to Gq, initiates contraction of airway smooth muscle while activation of M2 receptors, which couple to Gi, inhibits beta-adrenergic mediated relaxation.
