33,34. Injection of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) agonist, pilocarpine, into partially-fed hard tick females induces robust long-lasting SG secretion, whereas it fails to induce saliva from isolated SG. Subsequently
To minimize side-effects, lower doses could be combined with a 5-HT4 receptor agonist, which also facilitates intestinal cholinergic activity. However, safety concerns, especially in the elderly, require drugs with good selectivity of action. These include the AChE inhibitor donepezil (used for ...
could produce similar responses, provided their agonist binding affinity was high (similar to that reported for α7-nAChRs; Supplementary Fig.5b–d). Lower desensitization rates also enabled distal receptors to temporally integrate ACh signals, which directly aided in the equalization of responses at ...
These drugs produce many undesired effects, as they affect both the SNS and the PNS.

Therefore, studying the application of α7 nAChR PAMs in antidepressant treatment may be a promising direction. α7 nAChR PAMs were effective only in the presence of endogenous agonist ACh and could further enhance the agonistic effects of ACh on α7 nAChR. There are two types of α7 nAChR ...
Infusion of tumor necrosis factor-α into DSP4-pretreated mice also reduced cortical choline acetyltransferase activity on the side of the infusion; however, the decline was not significantly greater than that produced by the infusion of tumor necrosis factor-α alone. The neurodegeneration seen ...
While drugs targeting cholinergic receptors have been demonstrated to show efficacy in preclinical models, the large range of side effects impede clinical application. Inhibitors of the acetylcholine esterase, such as Rivastigmine and Neostigmine, which enhance the bioavailability of this neurotransmitter at...
