Mecamylamine selectively blocks nicotinic receptors on vasomotor sympathetic C neurons.
Mecamylamine differentially blocked fast nicotinic transmission in two functional subsets of sympathetic neurons within lumbar paravertebral ganglia of the bullfrog. EC50s for inhibition of postsynaptic compound action potentials were 27.3+/-2.5 microM in the secretomotor B system and 5.7+/-0.7 microM in the vasomotor C system. This 5.2:1 selectivity is 2.6 times greater than observed previousl...
متن کاملCholecystokinin selectively affects presympathetic vasomotor neurons and sympathetic vasomotor outflow.
Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a potential mediator of gastrointestinal vasodilatation during digestion. To determine whether CCK influences sympathetic vasomotor function, we examined the effect of systemic CCK administration on mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), lumbar sympathetic nerve discharge (LSND), splanchnic sympathetic nerve discharge (SSND), and the discharge of presympat...
متن کاملα-Conotoxin PeIA[S9H,V10A,E14N] potently and selectively blocks α6β2β3 versus α6β4 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) containing α6 and β2 subunits modulate dopamine release in the basal ganglia and are therapeutically relevant targets for treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders including Parkinson's disease and nicotine dependence. However, the expression profile of β2 and β4 subunits overlap in a variety of tissues including locus ceruleus, retina, hippo...
متن کاملb-Amyloid peptide blocks the response of a7-containing nicotinic receptors on hippocampal neurons
Alzheimer’s disease produces a devastating decline in mental function, with profound effects on learning and memory. Early consequences of the disease include the specific loss of cholinergic neurons in brain, diminished cholinergic signaling, and the accumulation of b-amyloid peptide in neuritic plaques. Of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors at risk, the most critical may be those containin...
متن کاملa-Conotoxin AuIB Selectively Blocks a3b4 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors and Nicotine-Evoked Norepinephrine Release
Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) with putative a3b4-subunits have been implicated in the mediation of signaling in various systems, including ganglionic transmission peripherally and nicotine-evoked neurotransmitter release centrally. However, progress in the characterization of these receptors has been hampered by a lack of a3b4-selective ligands. In this report, we describe...
