Finally, adaptations in nicotinic acetylcholine receptor function are also involved in nicotine dependence.
2
This was not found in kindled rats, in which nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonists exerted less robust effects.
3
Nematode nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are the targets for many effective anthelmintics, including those recently introduced into the market.
4
Preferential nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonists were potent anticonvulsants in the maximal electroshock seizure test and against nicotine-induced seizures.
5
Neonicotinoid insecticides are potent agonists of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and are a major factor in the decline of pollinators worldwide.
6
These aspects of dynamic conformation are related to an interaction mechanism of a neurotoxin molecule and a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.
7
Our study demonstrates that abamectin and derquantel interact at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on the somatic muscle and suggested synergism can occur.
8
Our results reveal a beige-selective immune-adipose interaction mediated through CHRNA2 and identify a novel function of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in energy metabolism.
9
This pathway plays a critical role in controlling the inflammatory response through interaction with peripheral a7 subunit-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptors expressed on macrophages.
10
All these toxins bind with high affinity to muscular-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, whereas only long toxins recognize the alpha7 receptor with high affinity.
11
The affinity constants of the two alkaloids for the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) of Torpedo and rat brain membranes were determined.
12
These results suggest that decidium experiences a more hydrophobic environment upon binding to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor sites, particularly to the noncompetitive inhibitor site.
13
This article focuses on the neural substrates, especially nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, that mediate the reinforcing effects of nicotine and the development of nicotine dependence.
14
The homomeric a7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is a well-studied therapeutic target, though its characteristically rapid desensitization complicates the development of drugs with specific agonist effects.
15
Last, blockade or genetic deficiency of the a7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor abrogated the protective effect of ultrasound, suggesting the involvement of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway.
16
Background: Genome-wide association studies have revealed an association between several loci in the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gene cluster CHRNA5-A3-B4 and daily cigarette consumption.
