Thyrotropin-releasing hormone: stimulation of colonic activity following intracerebroventricular administration. 1977

J R Smith, and T R La Hann, and R M Chesnut, and M A Carino, and A Horita

Intraventricularly administered thyrotropin-releasing hormone in rabbits elicited an increase in intraluminal pressure changes, a response commonly associated with muscular activity of the colon. The response appears to be central in origin with peripheral expression relying primarily on cholinergic receptors.

D010275 Parasympathetic Nervous System The craniosacral division of the autonomic nervous system. The cell bodies of the parasympathetic preganglionic fibers are in brain stem nuclei and in the sacral spinal cord. They synapse in cranial autonomic ganglia or in terminal ganglia near target organs. The parasympathetic nervous system generally acts to conserve resources and restore homeostasis, often with effects reciprocal to the sympathetic nervous system.

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.
