Involvement of muscarinic receptors in psychomotor hyperactivity in dopamine-deficient mice
Molecular Brain, 2022 Dopamine-deficient (DD) mice exhibit psychomotor hyperactivity that might be related to a decrease in muscarinic signaling. In the present study, muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M2 (CHRM2) density decreased in the cortex in DD mice. This is significant

Trafficking of M2 Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999 Internalization is an important mechanism regulating the agonist-dependent responses of G-protein-coupled receptors. The internalization of the M(2) muscarinic cholinergic receptors (mAChR) in HEK293 cells has been demonstrated to occur by an unknown mechanism that is independent of arrestins and dynamin.

Hypothalamic Control of Liver Health and Disease: From Circuits to Pathophysiology and Therapies
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This review delineates the hypothalamic circuits that control liver homeostasis via autonomic and neuroendocrine pathways. Dysregulation of this hypothalamus–liver axis drives disease progression across a spectrum including steatotic liver disease, liver inflammation and injury, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Identification and Role of Muscarinic Receptor Subtypes Expressed in Rat Adrenal Medullary Cells
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2011 .: The muscarinic receptor is known to be involved in the acetylcholine (ACh)-induced secretion of catecholamines in the adrenal medullary (AM) cells of various mammals.

Position of anticholinergic drugs in the treatment of childhood asthma [PDF]
Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2010 Anticholinergic drugs block muscarinic effect of acetylcholine on the receptors of postjunctional membranes and so inhibit the answer of the postganglionic parasympathetic nerve.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Primary cultures of neuroblasts isolated from the nucleus basalis of Meynert of 12‐weeks‐old human foetuses were prepared. Whole‐cell patch‐clamp recordings were performed by injecting a depolarizing stimulus current (+500 pA; 500 ms), and the membrane voltage recorded; this stimulus current evoked periodic‐like oscillations in membrane voltage ...
