muscle
|
• bladder and ileal smooth muscle do not respond to carbachol, even at concentrations that evoke maximal cholinergic contractions in wild-type

|
• ileal smooth muscle does not respond to carbachol, even at concentrations that evoke maximal cholinergic contractions in wild-type
|
vision/eye
|
• partially dilated pupils
|
nervous system
|
• hippocampal neuron pairs exhibit a reduction in the enhanced depolarization-induced suppression of inhibitory (DSI) postsynaptic currents in response to the muscarinic agonist oxotremorine-M, however it persisted to a substantial degree
|
behavior/neurological
|
• exhibit an increase in frequency of prandial drinking due to dryness of food as this effect is not seen with hydrated paste food
|
digestive/alimentary system
|
• carbachol-induced intracellular calcium concentration increase is markedly impaired in submandibular gland cells, however phenylephrine, an alpha1-adrenergic agonist, induces similar calcium responses as in wild-type
|
|
• salivary secretion is reduced in response to low levels of pilocarpine and although higher levels of pilocarpine induce considerable salivation, it is still less than in wild-type
• rate of saliva secretion is significantly lower than in wild-type during the early period after pilocarpine administration
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
|
• carbachol-induced intracellular calcium concentration increase is markedly impaired in submandibular gland cells, however phenylephrine, an alpha1-adrenergic agonist, induces similar calcium responses as in wild-type
|
|
• salivary secretion is reduced in response to low levels of pilocarpine and although higher levels of pilocarpine induce considerable salivation, it is still less than in wild-type
