Acetylcholine contributes to control the physiological inflammatory response during the peri-implantation period
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2015-06)
Maternal antigen-presenting cells attracted to the pregnant uterus interact with trophoblast cells and modulate their functional profile to favour immunosuppressant responses. Non-neuronal cholinergic system is expressed ...
Supplementing female rats with DHA-lysophosphatidylcholine increases docosahexaenoic acid and acetylcholine contents in the brain and improves the memory and learning capabilities of the pups
(2010-03)
DHA has been established. We propose that DHAcontaining
lysophosphatidylcholine (DHA-LPC), obtained
from DHA-rich eggs may be a suitable form of DHA and
choline (the precursor of acetylcholine) supplementation.
We ...
Electrogravimetric Analysis by Quartz-Crystal Microbalance on the Consumption of the Neurotransmitter Acetylcholine by Acetylcholinesterase
(2012-12-01)
Electrogravimetric analysis was performed on the consumption of the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine (ACh) by Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in situ and in real time. Michaelis-Menten assumption was achieved by using an enzyme ...
The alpha 7, alpha 4 beta 2 and alpha 3 beta 4 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors: Characteristics, Role in Pathogenic Processes and Bioactive Compounds
(Brazilian Chemical Soc, 2016-01-01)
Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are potential targets for the treatement of several central nervous system disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and schzophrenia. On this review ...
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 ...
Conformational and stereoeletronic investigations of muscarinic agonists of acetylcholine by NMR and theoretical calculations
(Elsevier Science BvAmsterdamHolanda, 2012)
In silico characterization of cytisinoids docked into an acetylcholine binding protein
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2010-05-06)
Homology models of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) suggest that subtype specificity is due to
non-conserved residues in the complementary subunit of the ligand-binding pocket. Cytisine and its
derivatives ...
Acetylcholine from visual circuits modulates the activity of arousal neurons in Drosophila
(Society for Neuroscience, 2015-12)
Drosophila melanogaster’s large lateral ventral neurons (lLNvs) are part of both the circadian and sleep-arousal neuronal circuits. In the past, electrophysiological analysis revealed that lLNvs fire action potentials (APs) ...
Electrophysiological characterization of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in cat petrosal ganglion neurons in culture: Effects of cytisine and its bromo derivatives
(ELSEVIER, 2006-02-09)
Petrosal ganglion neurons are depolarized and fire action potentials in response to acetylcholine and nicotine. However, little is known about the subtype(s) of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors involved, although alpha 4 ...
