Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors of the developing retina.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Six- and 13-day chicken embryo retinas contain 10 and 320 fmol per mg of protein of specific binding sites for 3-[3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate, a ligand of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. Most of the receptors of 13-day embryo retina were found, by autoradiography, to be localized in two sharp bands within the inner synaptic layer of the retina. In the adult, the receptors were found almost exclusively in three bands in the inner synaptic layer of the retina. A possible mechanism for generating sets of stratified or columnar neurons and relating one set to another is proposed.

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 کاملAcetylcholine receptors in the human retina.
Evidence for a population of acetylcholine (ACh) receptors in the human retina is presented. The authors have used the irreversible ligand 3H-propylbenzilylcholine mustard (3H-PrBCM) to label muscarinic receptors. 3H- or 125I-alpha-bungarotoxin (alpha-BTx) was used to label putative nicotinic receptors. Muscarinic receptors are apparently present in the inner plexiform layer of the retina. Auto...

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...

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...
