choline and Myasthenia Gravis

choline has been researched along with Myasthenia Gravis in 18 studies

Myasthenia Gravis: A disorder of neuromuscular transmission characterized by fatigable weakness of cranial and skeletal muscles with elevated titers of ACETYLCHOLINE RECEPTORS or muscle-specific receptor tyrosine kinase (MuSK) autoantibodies. Clinical manifestations may include ocular muscle weakness (fluctuating, asymmetric, external ophthalmoplegia; diplopia; ptosis; and weakness of eye closure) and extraocular fatigable weakness of facial, bulbar, respiratory, and proximal limb muscles. The disease may remain limited to the ocular muscles (ocular myasthenia). THYMOMA is commonly associated with this condition.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"We have found that mutant acetylcholine receptor channels (AChRs) that cause slow-channel congenital myasthenic syndromes are activated by serum and that the high frequency of openings in serum is reduced by treatment with choline oxidase."7.70Serum choline activates mutant acetylcholine receptors that cause slow channel congenital myasthenic syndromes. ( Auerbach, A; Engel, AG; Zhou, M, 1999)
"The neuromuscular block of myasthenia gravis has the characteristics of an antidepolarizing (competitive block), similar to that produced by d-tubocurarine in normal subjects: progressive decrease in muscle action potentials evoked by two or more nerve stimuli, posttetanic facilitation, posttetanic fatigue, inhibition of the depolarizing action of acetylcholine (ACh) or anticholinesterase compounds, and reversal of the block by ACh or anticholinesterase compounds."4.75Characteristics and mechanism of neuromuscular block in myasthenia gravis.
