Acetylcholine and cholinergic receptors [PDF]

open access: yesBrain and Neuroscience Advances, 2019
This review provides a distillate of the advances in knowledge about the neurotransmitter functions of acetylcholine over the 50-year period between 1967 and 2017, together with incremental information about the cognate nicotinic and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, and some brief comments on possible advances in the near future.

Beta-adrenergic and M-cholinergic receptor interactions in the pathogenesis of bronchial obstructive pulmonary diseases [PDF]

open access: yesКлиническая практика, 2020
The crosstalk between the beta-2-adrenoceptor and M- cholinoreceptor systems in the airways plays one of the main roles in the pathogenesis of bronchoobstructive diseases.

An original potentiating mechanism revealed by the cryo-EM structures of the human α7 nicotinic receptor in complex with nanobodies

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
The human α7 nicotinic receptor is a pentameric channel mediating cellular and neuronal communication. It has attracted considerable interest in designing ligands for the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders. To develop a novel class of α7

Cholinergic Receptors in Cognitive Disorders [PDF]

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Journal Canadien des Sciences Neurologiques, 1986
Abstract:Cholinergic receptors (muscarinic subtypes M1 and M2, and putative nicotinic binding) have been examined in the hippocampus obtained at autopsy from a variety of patients with cognitive disorders (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's diseases, Down's Syndrome and alcoholic dementia) and compared with neurologically normal controls and ...

Effect of gallamine on cholinergic receptors [PDF]

open access: yesCanadian Anaesthetists’ Society Journal, 1970
Gallamine triethiodide causes tachycardia thought to be due to a specific vagolytic action. Recently, Brown and Crout have shown that gallamine may cause increased inotropic and chronotropic activity due to the release of catecholamines from cardiac sympathetic nerves.

Mitochondrial Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors Support Liver Cells Viability After Partial Hepatectomy

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) expressed on the cell plasma membrane are ligand-gated ion channels mediating fast synaptic transmission, regulating neurotransmitter and cytokine release and supporting the viability of many cell types.

Acetylcholine and spinal locomotor networks: The insider

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2021
This article aims to review studies that have investigated the role of neurons that use the transmitter acetylcholine (ACh) in controlling the operation of locomotor neural networks within the spinal cord. This cholinergic system has the particularity of
