Differential activation of nitric oxide synthase through muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in rat salivary glands
(Elsevier, 2000-03)
Muscarinic receptors play an important role in secretory and vasodilator responses in rat salivary glands. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) appears to be one of the multiple effectors coupled to muscarinic receptors in both ...
Functional characterization of acetylcholine receptors and calcium signaling in rat testicular capsule contraction
(Elsevier B.V., 2013-08-15)
The motor activity of mammalian testicular capsule (TC) contributes to male fertility and infertility, but the acetylcholine receptors related to the contractions induced by cholinergic drugs are poorly known. Indeed to ...
Role of acetylcholine receptors in proliferation and differentiation of P19 embryonal carcinoma cells
(ELSEVIER INC, 2008)
Coordinated proliferation and differentiation of progenitor cells is the base for production of appropriate numbers of neurons and glia during neuronal development in order to establish normal brain functions. We have used ...
Effects of acetylcholine and cholinergic antagonists on the activity of nucleus of the solitary tract neurons
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-03-15)
Previously we have demonstrated that microinjection of acetylcholine (ACh) into the intermediate nucleus of the solitary tract (iNTS) induced sympatho-inhibition combined with a decrease in the phrenic nerve activity (PNA), ...
Central muscarinic receptors signal pilocarpine-induced salivation
(Sage Publications Inc, 2014)
Bj-PRO-5a, a natural angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, promotes vasodilatation mediated by both bradykinin B(2) and M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2011)
Bradykinin-potentiating peptides (BPPs) or proline-rich oligopeptides (PROs) isolated from the venom glands of Bothrops jararaca (Bj) were the first natural inhibitors of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) described. ...
Effect of estrogen on intracellular signaling pathways linked to activation of M-2- and M-3-muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the rat myometrium
(Elsevier B.V., 2000-02-25)
The estrogen treatment of adult female rats induces an increase in myometrium sensitivity to cholinergic agonists and in this tissue the presence of M-2- and M-3-muscarinic acetylcholine (mACh) receptor was shown. We now ...
Effects of estrogen on intracellular signaling pathways linked to activation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and on acetylcholinesterase activity in rat hippocampus
(Elsevier B.V., 2008-05-01)
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of estrogen lack and estrogen replacement on the production of total [H-3]inositol phosphate ([H-3]IP) induced by the activation of muscarinic acetylcholine ...
Functional muscarinic receptors in cultured skeletal muscle
(Academic Press Inc., 1996)
We studied the influence of muscarinic and nicotinic stimulation on both phosphoinositide metabolism and intracellular calcium levels in rat skeletal muscle primary cultures. Both nicotine and muscarine induced an increase ...
