Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the lung.

چکیده
5 genetically distinct subtypes of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors have been cloned from human and rat tissues [l, 2 , 31 and these have been dubbed ml, m2, m3, m4 and m5. Each individual subtype has been expressed in animal cells and their pharmacology determined (4). It appears that the pharmacological subtypes Ml, M2 and M3 correspond to the cloned subtypes ml, m2 and m3. However, m4 and m5 do not appear to correspond to any of the pharmacological subtypes. The mRNA distribution of the cloned subtypes has been mapped in the brain and it has been found that all 5 subtypes are expressed

The role of acetylcholine muscarinic receptors in the rat basolateral amygdala on morphine-induced place preference
Some studies have shown that acetylcholine muscarinic receptors involved in the opiate reward. In the present study, the effect of intra-basolateral amygdale (BLA) acetylcholine muscarinic like receptor agonist (physostigmine) and antagonist (atropine) on the acquisition of morphine-induced place preference has been investigated in male Wistar rats. For this purpose, two 22 gauges guide cannula...

Up to date, there are four pharmacologically characterized subtypes of muscarinic receptors (M1, M2, M3 and M4). In our study we have investigated muscarinic receptor subtypes in smooth muscle layers of human stomach. Isolated preparations of longitudinal and circular muscle layers from human stomach were used. Acetylcholine, bethanechol, carbachol, pilocarpine and AHR -602 produced concen...

Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric illness with a lifetime prevalence of ˜1% that imposes a huge toll on patients, their families and public health services worldwide. Delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior and negative symptoms constitute the core symptoms of schizophrenia. Although the neurotransmitter dopamine plays a prominent role in t...

The present study investigated the effects of microinjections of acetylcholine (a cholinergic agonist), physostigmine (a cholinesterase inhibitor), atropine (an antagonist of muscarinic cholinergic receptors) and hexamethonium (an antagonist of nicotinic cholinergic receptors) into the parafascicular nucleus of thalamus on the acute corneal nociception in rats. Acute corneal nociception was ind...
