arecoline and Hypoxia

arecoline has been researched along with Hypoxia in 3 studies

Arecoline: An alkaloid obtained from the betel nut (Areca catechu), fruit of a palm tree. It is an agonist at both muscarinic and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. It is used in the form of various salts as a ganglionic stimulant, a parasympathomimetic, and a vermifuge, especially in veterinary practice. It has been used as a euphoriant in the Pacific Islands.
arecoline : A tetrahydropyridine that is 1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine with a methyl group at position 1, and a methoxycarbonyl group at position 3. An alkaloid found in the areca nut, it acts as an agonist of muscarinic acetylcholine.

Hypoxia: Sub-optimal OXYGEN levels in the ambient air of living organisms.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To test the hypothesis that decreased acetylcholine (ACh) metabolism during hypoxia is behaviorally important, the effects of cholinergic drugs and 4-aminopyridine, an enhancer of ACh release, were examined in hypoxic mice."3.66Cholinergic drugs and 4-aminopyridine alter hypoxic-induced behavioral deficits. ( Gibson, GE; Pelmas, CJ; Peterson, C, 1983)
"A 25 min anoxia, or an intracerebroventricular bilateral 2 nmol dose of ethylcholine aziridinium (AF-64A), administered postnatally to male rat pups, elicited on further development of these behavioural disorders, which are partly related to central cholinergic hypofunction."1.28Tacrine or arecoline mediates reversal of anoxia- or AF64A-induced behavioural disorders in the developing rat. ( Cohen, S; Gitter, S; Reicher, S; Speiser, Z, 1989)
