The present experiments were undertaken to investigate the effects of atropine and d-tubocurarine on acetylcholine (ACh) release and ganglionic synaptic transmission in the isolated cat stellate ganglion. Ganglionic release of picomole amounts of ACh was measured by radioenzymatic assay, and ganglionic transmission was estimated on the basis of the compound action potential recorded from the postganglionic stellate cardiac nerve. Atropine (5 microM) produced a significant increase in both spontaneous and evoked ACh release from the ganglion while depressing synaptic transmission. d-Tubocurarine (20 microM) also caused a significant, though smaller, increase in spontaneous release of ACh but had little effect on evoked release of ACh. These results suggest that ACh release and synaptic transmission in the cat stellate ganglion are subject to cholinergic feedback regulation, which appears to be mediated predominantly via muscarinic presynaptic receptors.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D010830 Physostigmine A cholinesterase inhibitor that is rapidly absorbed through membranes. It can be applied topically to the conjunctiva. It also can cross the blood-brain barrier and is used when central nervous system effects are desired, as in the treatment of severe anticholinergic toxicity. Eserine
D011976 Receptors, Muscarinic One of the two major classes of cholinergic receptors. Muscarinic receptors were originally defined by their preference for MUSCARINE over NICOTINE. There are several subtypes (usually M1, M2, M3....) that are characterized by their cellular actions, pharmacology, and molecular biology.

D011978 Receptors, Nicotinic One of the two major classes of cholinergic receptors. Nicotinic receptors were originally distinguished by their preference for NICOTINE over MUSCARINE. They are generally divided into muscle-type and neuronal-type (previously ganglionic) based on pharmacology, and subunit composition of the receptors.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
