Nutritional Value and Memory‐Improving Effects of Seven Major Nuts: A Comprehensive Study Using Network Pharmacology and In Vivo Assays

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
This study highlights the memory‐enhancing effects of walnuts, almonds, and Torreya, with walnuts showing the strongest potential to improve cognitive function and delay brain aging. ABSTRACT This study explored the memory‐enhancing potential of seven commercially available nuts through nutritional profiling, metabolomics, network pharmacology, and ...

Muscarinic Receptors and Their Antagonists in COPD: Anti-Inflammatory and Antiremodeling Effects

Mediators of Inflammation, 2012
Muscarinic receptors are expressed by most cell types and mediate cellular signaling of their natural ligand acetylcholine. Thereby, they control numerous central and peripheral physiological organ responses to neuronal activity.

Relationship between membrane phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate and receptor-mediated inhibition of native neuronal M channels [PDF]

, 2005
The relationship between receptor-induced membrane phosphatidylinositol-4'5'-bisphosphate (PIP2) hydrolysis and M-current inhibition was assessed in single-dissociated rat sympathetic neurons by simultaneous or parallel recording of membrane current and ...

Perturbed synaptic adhesion molecules signaling in neurodevelopmental disorders: The impact of metal neurotoxicity

Ibrain, EarlyView.
Synaptic adhesion molecules (SAM) are essential for the formation, maturation, function, plasticity, and assembly of synaptic connections, all critical for normal neurodevelopment. Excessive exposure to neurotoxic metals during development could disrupt the developing brain and potentially lead to neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs).

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

, 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.

Wuda Granule Improves the Gastrointestinal Motility via Gut‐Brain Axis in Beagle Dogs

iMetaMed, EarlyView.
Stress sensors were implanted in the gastric body, sinus, duodenum, jejunum, and colon of beagle dogs to record gastrointestinal motility. Gastrointestinal contractile motility was assessed before and after the lateral ventricular injection of Wuda granule, intravenous atropine instillation, and bilateral cervical vagotomy.

Muscarinic receptor signaling in the pathophysiology of asthma and COPD

Respiratory Research, 2006
Anticholinergics are widely used for the treatment of COPD, and to a lesser extent for asthma. Primarily used as bronchodilators, they reverse the action of vagally derived acetylcholine on airway smooth muscle contraction.

Perinatal Exposure to the Neonicotinoid Thiacloprid Impacts Transcription of Neuroplasticity and Neuroendocrine Markers in Mice but Not in the Zebrafish Model

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neonicotinoids are widely used insecticides in agriculture, aquaculture, pet care, and urban pest control. Initially developed to selectively target the insect cholinergic system, their extensive use has raised concerns about adverse effects on nontarget vertebrates.

Elevated Hippocampal Cholinergic Neurostimulating Peptide precursor protein (HCNP-pp) mRNA in the amygdala in major depression [PDF]

, 2015
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.
