Muscarinic Receptor Subtypes in Smooth Muscle

208 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book explores several subtypes of muscarinic receptors that modulate smooth muscle activity. Main topics include a classification of muscarinic receptors, biochemical responses that occur in smooth muscle, the role of muscarinic receptors in the function of gastrointestinal and genitourinary smooth muscle, and prejunctional muscarinic receptors in smooth muscle. Discussions cover the current state of research and are intended to generate further research into the design of therapeutics for disorders of smooth muscle function. With 860 references that direct readers to further sources on specific topics, this book is a valuable resource for pharmacologists and biochemists.
