1. Galanthamine and other Amaryllidaceae related alkaloids are inhibitors of α7, α4β2 and α3β4 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
Abstract Galanthamine is an Amaryllidaceae-derived acetylcholinesterase inhibitor used to treat memory impairment in Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. There is evidence that galanthamine, in addition to its effects on acetylcholinesterase, may enhance or inhibit brain nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which could increase or decrease the therapeuti

2. Lack of an association between SNPs within the cholinergic receptor genes and smoking behavior in a Czech post-MONICA study
Smoking has a significant heritable component of approximately 30-60%. Recent genome wide association studies have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the nicotinic cholinergic receptor subunits 3 (rs578776), 5 (rs16969968) and β3 (rs6474412), which are associated with nicotine dependence in Western European populations. To analyze the

3. Um estudo sobre a interação dos sistemas colinérgico nicotínico e dopaminérgico na persistência de memórias aversivas
Long-term memory (LTM) storage requires activation of the ventral tegmental area (VTA)- hippocampus dopaminergic loop and synthesis of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) late after learning (Bekinschtein et al., 2007; Rossato et al., 2009). Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) modulate VTA function. Therefore, we analyzed the involvement of these

4. Estudo anátomo-funcional de glânglios da cadeia simpática torácica na hiperidrose primária / Anatomofunctional study of thoracic sympathetic chain ganglia in primary hyperhidrosis
Introdução: A hiperidrose primária (HP) é uma desordem que afeta negativamente a qualidade de vida de seus portadores. A fisiopatologia da HP não é bem compreendida e acredita-se que uma complexa disfunção do sistema nervoso simpático esteja relacionada com sua etiologia. A ressecção de um ou mais gânglios da cadeia simpática torácica constitui

5. Cardiovascular effects of the intracerebroventricular injection of adrenomedullin: roles of the peripheral vasopressin and central cholinergic systems
Our objective was to investigate in conscious Sprague-Dawley (6-8 weeks, 250-300 g) female rats (N = 7 in each group) the effects of intracerebroventricularly (icv) injected adrenomedullin (ADM) on blood pressure and heart rate (HR), and to determine if ADM and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptors, peripheral V1 receptors or the central cholinerg

6. Estudo dos efeitos do veneno da serpente Bothrops alcatraz em preparações neuromusculares in vitro / Neuromuscular activity of Bothrops alcatraz snake venom in chick biventer cervcis preparations
Bothrops alcatraz é uma serpente do Arquipélago de Alcatrazes no litoral norte do estado de São Paulo, Brasil, recentemente descrita. Neste trabalho foram analisados os efeitos neuromusculares do veneno de B. alcatraz em preparações isoladas de biventer cervicis de pintainho (BC) e nervo frênico-diafragma de camundongo (NFD), sob estimulação elétric

7. Estudo dos componentes protéicos da peçonha da serpente Micrurus frontalis (serpentes: elapidae)
Coral snakes (Micrurus genus) venoms contain a wide spectrum of biologically active proteins and peptides. The major obstacle to study Micrurus venoms is the small amount of material that can be collected. Therefore, the biochemistry and pharmacology of components from coral snakes venoms are mostly unknown. In this study we describe the isolation, molecular

8. Nicotine effects on LPS-induced NF-capaB in the central nervous system / Efeito da nicotina na ativação do fator de transcrição NF-B no sistema nervoso central na vigência de estímulo inflamatório induzido por lipopolissacarídeo (LPS)
Nicotine is an alkaloid extracted from Tobacco plants, and it acts as an agonist in neurons and other cells that express nicotinic receptors. This substance crosses the blood brain barrier and mimics endogenous acetylcholine in interacting with various receptor subtypes. The hippocampus and cerebellum are brain regions rich in nicotinic receptors including 7

9. Efeitos farmacologicos e morfologicos do polietilenoglicol (PEG 400) em preparações neuromusculares / The influence of polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG) on the neuromuscular junction
Polyethyleneglycol has been widely used in several areas such as cosmetic, odontology and pharmaceutical (even as drugs carrier) due to its chemical properties. Thus, it is considered a bioactive molecule being its internal consumption approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The aim of this study was to analyze the pharmacological effects of PEG

10. Temporal effects of nicotine and ethanol combined exposure on cholinergic system of the adolescent brain / Curso temporal dos efeitos da exposição combinada de nicotina e etanol no sistema colinérgico cerebral durante adolescência
Nicotine and ethanol are the most commonly consumed drugs. As clearly indicated by epidemiological studies, there is a close interrelationship between smoking and alcohol consumption manly during adolescence period. However, there are few studies on the basic neurobiology of the effects of the combined nicotine and ethanol exposure in the adolescent brain. S

11. Inhibition mechanism of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor α3β4 tacrine / Mecanismos de inibição do receptor nicotínico de acetilcolina α3β4 pela tacrina
Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine (cholinergic) receptors (nAChRs) are integral membrane proteins and belong to the family of ligand-gated cation channels composed by α and β subunits. These receptors play a key role in the signal transmission between neurons in the central and peripheral nervous system. The α3β4 subtype, for example, is t

12. Pharmacological characterization of venoms obtained from Mexican toxoglossate gastropods on isolated guinea pig ileum
The protein-containing extracts prepared from the venom ducts of Conus austini, Conus spurius and Polystira albida caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of spontaneous contractions in guinea pig ileum. The most potent extract was obtained from P. albida venom ducts (IC50 = 0.11 ± 0.02 µg protein/mL). The three extracts produced a moderate inhibition
