چکیده
PURPOSE We evaluated the alterations of density, localization and subtype specificity of muscarinic receptors in experimentally-induced diabetic rat bladder. METHODS Five groups of rats were maintained for sixteen weeks 1) diabetic, 2) diabetic insulin-treated (insulin started 8 weeks after the onset of diabetes), 3) sucrose-fed diuretic, 4) sucrose-removed and 5) age matched controls. We used radioligand binding technique and light microscopic autoradiography to define the density and distribution of muscarinic receptors in the rat urinary bladder. RESULTS & CONCLUSION Saturation experiments showed an increase in the density of muscarinic receptors in the bladders of diabetic and diuretic rats compared with age matched controls. Insulin treatment partially reversed the up-regulatin of muscarinic receptors in rat urinary bladder. Autoradiographic studies also indicated that muscarinic receptors were located in all layers of the bladder muscularis. The muscularis of the bladder dome contained higher densities of muscarinic receptors than that of the bladder base. Lack of [3H]QNB binding to transitional epithelium, lamina propria, and tunica adventitia suggests an absence of muscarinic receptors in these regions. Inhibition of [3H]QNB binding to the bladder sections by selective muscarinic antagonists indicated existence of the M2 and M3 receptor subtypes in the muscularis of the rat bladder.

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...
متن کاملAutoradiographic localization of muscarinic cholinergic receptors in rat brainstem.
We have localized muscarinic cholinergic receptors in the rat brainstem by a light microscopic autoradiographic method. Initially, we examined the kinetics and specificity of the binding of radiolabeled quinuclidinyl benzilate ([3H]QNB) in slide-mounted, frozen tissue sections to determine that we were labeling the muscarinic cholinergic receptors as they had been described previously in bioche...

We evaluated the effects of five clinically used antimuscarinic agents for overactive bladder (OAB) treatment on in vivo muscarinic receptor binding in rat brain by quantitative autoradiography. There was a dose-related decrease in in vivo specific +N-[11C]methyl-3-piperidyl benzilate ([11C](+)3-MPB) binding in each brain region of rats 10 min after i.v. injection of oxybutynin, propiverine, so...

Objective(s): Nanoparticles of iron oxide (nFe2O3) are widely used in medicine and industry and could interfere with the brain processes associated with memory. The involvement of muscarinic cholinergic receptors in the process of memory formation has been confirmed. The present study aimed to investigate the possible interference of the cholinergic muscarinic receptors of the dorsal hippocampa...
