Involvement of CNS cholinergic systems in alcohol drinking of P rats.

Addiction biology

Katner SN, McBRIDE WJ, Lumeng L, Li TK, Murphy JM.
PMID: 26735639
Addict Biol. 1997 Apr;2(2):215-23. doi: 10.1080/13556219772769.

Experiments were undertaken to determine if CNS muscarinic- and nicotinic-cholinergic receptors are involved in regulating alcohol drinking of rats from the selectively-bred alcohol-preferring P line. Intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) drug infusions were administered into the lateral ventricle of female P rats...

Tremulous jaw movements (TJMs) are rapid vertical deflections of the lower jaw that resemble chewing but are not directed at any particular stimulus. In rodents, TJMs are induced by neurochemical conditions that parallel those seen in human Parkinsonism, including...

Factors affecting medication discontinuation in patients with overactive bladder symptoms.

Obstetrics & gynecology science

Shim EJ, Yoo EH, Kim YM, Kim D.
PMID: 26623416

OBJECTIVE: To find out the factors affecting medication discontinuation in patients with overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms.METHODS: The clinical data of 125 patients with OAB symptoms who had taken antimuscarinics and behavioral therapy were retrospectively reviewed. Antimuscarinics related outcomes were...

Associations between different measures of anticholinergic drug exposure and Barthel Index in older hospitalized patients.

Therapeutic advances in drug safety

Bostock CV, Soiza RL, Mangoni AA.
PMID: 25114784
Ther Adv Drug Saf. 2013 Dec;4(6):235-45. doi: 10.1177/2042098613500689.

OBJECTIVE: To compare associations between four measures of anticholinergic exposure (anticholinergic risk scale, ARS; anticholinergic drug burden, DBAC; number and use versus no use of anticholinergic drugs), Barthel Index (BI, physical function) and Abbreviated Mental Test (AMT, cognitive function)...

Effects of selective antagonism or depletion of the cholinergic system on visual discrimination performance in rats.

Behavioural pharmacology

Drinkenburg WH, Sondag HN, Coenders CJ, Andrews JS, Vossen JM.
PMID: 11224372
Behav Pharmacol. 1995 Nov;6(7):695-702.

A two-lever simultaneous visual discrimination task was used to study the effects on performance in Long-Evans rats of the muscarinic antagonists scopolamine (0.0125, 0.05, 0.2 and 0.8mg/kg s.c.), the M(1) antagonist pirenzepine, the M(2) antagonist AF-DX 116, the M(3)...

Muscarinic autoreceptors are differentially affected by selective muscarinic antagonists in rat hippocampus.

Neurochemistry international

Gulya K, Budai D, Kása P.
PMID: 20504477
Neurochem Int. 1989;15(2):153-6. doi: 10.1016/0197-0186(89)90094-6.

The effects of atropine, pirenzepine and AF-DX 116 on the high K(+)-evoked release of endogenous ACh from rat hippocampal slices were compared. As expected, atropine in concentrations of 10(?5) and 10(?6)M increased the release of acetylcholine, to 128 and...

Pharmacotherapies for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a multiple treatment comparison meta-analysis.

Clinical epidemiology

Mills EJ, Druyts E, Ghement I, Puhan MA.
PMID: 21487451
Clin Epidemiol. 2011 Mar 28;3:107-29. doi: 10.2147/CLEP.S16235.

BACKGROUND: Most patients with moderate and severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) receive long-acting bronchodilators (LABA) for symptom control. It is, however, unclear if and what drug treatments should be added to LABAs to reduce exacerbations, which is an...
