Intrinsic Gating Properties of a Cloned G Protein-activated Inward Rectifier K^+ Channel [PDF]

, 1995
The voltage-, time-, and K^+-dependent properties of a G protein-activated inwardly rectifying K^+ channel (GIRK1/KGA/Kir3.1) cloned from rat atrium were studied in Xenopus oocytes under two-electrode voltage clamp. During maintained G protein activation

Neurodevelopmental features in KCNQ2 developmental and epileptic encephalopathy may have limited associations with KV7.2 dysfunction

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Variants in KCNQ2 encoding the voltage‐gated potassium channel KV7.2 are associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) of varying severity. This study examined the relationship of KCNQ2 variant dysfunction with the neurodevelopmental phenotype of individuals with KCNQ2‐DEE. Methods A parent‐reported survey gathered

Striatal cholinergic interneurons generate beta and gamma oscillations in the corticostriatal circuit and produce motor deficits [PDF]

, 2016
Cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic (CBT) neural circuits are critical modulators of cognitive and motor function. When compromised, these circuits contribute to neurological and psychiatric disorders, such as Parkinson's disease (PD).

Agonist-selective activation of individual G-proteins by muscarinic receptors

Scientific Reports
Selective activation of individual subtypes of muscarinic receptors is a promising way to safely alleviate a wide range of pathological conditions in the central nervous system and the periphery as well.

Characterization of muscarinic receptor binding by the novel radioligand, [3H]imidafenacin, in the bladder and other tissues of rats

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2016
The present study aimed to directly characterize specific binding sites of tritium ([3H])-labeled imidafenacin, a new radioligand for labeling muscarinic receptors, in the bladder and other peripheral or central nervous tissues of rats.

Mydriasis as a Secondary Effect in Patients With HLA‐B27–Associated Uveitis

Medicine Advances, EarlyView.
HLA‐B27‐associated acute anterior uveitis causes significant inflammation of the iris and anterior chamber, which disrupts normal parasympathetic control and results in increased sympathetic tone leading to pupil dilation (mydriasis). This finding can sometimes resemble herpetic uveitis, making a clinical context and careful evaluation crucial for ...

Altered muscarinic and nicotinic receptor densities in cortical and subcortical brain regions in Parkinson's disease [PDF]

, 1993
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.

Modifying Antibiotic Activity of Synthetic Thiadiazine Analogs Against MDR Bacteria and ADMET Analysis

ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
The study demonstrated that thidiazine compounds potentiated the action of antibiotics. The compounds associated with norfloxacin against S. aureus showed greater significance in relation to the other medications. The indiscriminate use of antibiotics has led to the selection of resistant bacterial strains, significantly reducing the effectiveness of ...
