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

Genetic and neurophysiological correlates of the age of onset of alcohol use disorders in adolescents and young adults. [PDF]
Discrete time survival analysis was used to assess the age-specific association of event-related oscillations (EROs) and CHRM2 gene variants on the onset of regular alcohol use and alcohol dependence.

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).

Does mammalian heart contain only the m2 muscarinic receptor subtype?
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

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

Elevated Hippocampal Cholinergic Neurostimulating Peptide precursor protein (HCNP-pp) mRNA in the amygdala in major depression [PDF]
The amygdala is innervated by the cholinergic system and is involved in major depressive disorder (MDD). Evidence suggests a hyper-activate cholinergic system in MDD.

Altered muscarinic and nicotinic receptor densities in cortical and subcortical brain regions in Parkinson's disease [PDF]
Muscarinic and nicotinic cholinergic receptors and choline acetyltransferase activity were studied in postmortem brain tissue from patients with histopathologically confirmed Parkinson's disease and matched control subjects.

Role of M2 muscarinic receptors in airway smooth muscle contraction
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.

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