Acetylcarnitine and Cholinergic Receptors

Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1980
Acetylcarnitine, a naturally occurring compound found in high concentration in heart and skeletal muscle of vertebrates, bears structural resemblance to acetylcholine, and studies have shown that it has slight cholinergic properties. Acetylcarnitine was subjected to conformational analysis by extended Hückel theory (EHT) and complete neglect of ...

Cholinergic Receptors and Addiction

2020
Human behavior can be controlled by physical or psychological dependencies associated with addiction. One of the most insidious addictions in our society is the use of tobacco products which contain nicotine. This addiction can be associated with specific receptors in the brain that respond to the natural neurotransmitter acetylcholine. These nicotinic

Cholinergic receptors in corpora cavernosa

Urology, 1984
In a group of 13 patients who underwent penile surgery, a small amount of cavernosal tissue was removed and examined for content of cholinergic receptors. Three patients did not display any amount of cholinergic receptors. Values in the other 10 patients ranged from 34 to 136 femtomols.

Presynaptic muscarinic cholinergic receptors

Nature, 1978
IN the isolated rabbit heart, acetylcholine inhibits the release of noradrenaline evoked by nicotinic drugs1, by KCl (ref. 2) and by sympathetic nerve stimulation3. The release of noradrenaline in response to sympathetic nerve stimulation in the rabbit heart was found to be reduced by para-sympathomimetic agonists, and atropine antagonised this effect ...

Studies on the nature of the cholinergic receptor

European Journal of Pharmacology, 1968
Abstract The effects of a number of proteolytic enzymes on the acetylcholine sensitivity of the chronically deniervated musue membrane and on the cholinesterase activity of the innervated end-plate were examined. None of the enzymes affected the acetylcholine sensitivity, but all of them inactivated cholinesterase.
