The nAChR is unusual among receptors in that agonist-induced desensitization leads to an up-regulation of the receptor. Ligand interactions occur with various discrete forms of the receptor as originally proposed in 1958 by Katz and Thesleff‚ e.g.‚ open‚ resting‚ and desensitized states that are in equilibrium (Lena and Changeux‚ 1993). In addition to the acetylcholine (ACh) binding site‚ the nAChR‚ like other LGICs‚ e.g.‚ GABAA(benzodiazepine‚ neurosteroid‚ and barbiturate) andN-methyl-D-aspartate

Action • Organophosphorus insecticides exert their acute effects in both insects and mammals by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in the nervous system with subsequent accumulation of toxic levels of acetylcholine (ACh)‚ which is a neurotransmitter. In many cases‚ the organophosphorylated enzyme is fairly stable‚ so that recovery from intoxication may be slow. What is Acetylcholinesterase ( AChE)? • An enzyme that breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine at the synaptic clef (the space

The inhibitory effect of the extract on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in discrete rat brain regions (prefrontal cortex [PFC]‚ hippocampus [HIP] and amygdala [AMY]) was also investigated using acetyl thiocholine iodide and dithiobisnitrobenzoic acid reagent.
