pilocarpine and Tremor

pilocarpine has been researched along with Tremor in 24 studies

Pilocarpine: A slowly hydrolyzed muscarinic agonist with no nicotinic effects. Pilocarpine is used as a miotic and in the treatment of glaucoma.
(+)-pilocarpine : The (+)-enantiomer of pilocarpine.

Tremor: Cyclical movement of a body part that can represent either a physiologic process or a manifestation of disease. Intention or action tremor, a common manifestation of CEREBELLAR DISEASES, is aggravated by movement. In contrast, resting tremor is maximal when there is no attempt at voluntary movement, and occurs as a relatively frequent manifestation of PARKINSON DISEASE.

"Tremulous jaw movements in rats can be induced by several conditions associated with parkinsonism and tremorogenesis, including dopamine depletion, dopamine antagonism, and cholinomimetic drugs."7.78Extracellular GABA in globus pallidus increases during the induction of oral tremor by haloperidol but not by muscarinic receptor stimulation. ( Collins-Praino, LE; Kovner, R; Podurgiel, SJ; Randall, PA; Salamone, JD, 2012)
"Tremulous jaw movements in rats, which can be induced by dopamine (DA) antagonists, DA depletion, and cholinomimetics, have served as a useful model for studies of tremor."7.76Oral tremor induced by the muscarinic agonist pilocarpine is suppressed by the adenosine A2A antagonists MSX-3 and SCH58261, but not the adenosine A1 antagonist DPCPX.

" Here, using a model for parkisonian tremor, the pilocarpine-induced tremulous jaw movements (TJMs), we show that the deletion of GPR37 attenuated the TJMs in response to this cholinomimetic."3.81Adenosine A2A receptor-mediated control of pilocarpine-induced tremulous jaw movements is Parkinson's disease-associated GPR37 receptor-dependent. ( Ciruela, F; Fernández-Dueñas, V; Gandía, J; Morató, X; Stagljar, I, 2015)

( Baraldi, PG; Fenu, S; Morelli, M; Simola, N; Tabrizi, MA, 2006)
"Although most rodent studies related to parkinsonian symptoms have focused on locomotion, tremulous jaw movements also have been used as a rodent model of tremor for investigating the circuitry of the basal ganglia."3.72Motor effects of GABA(A) antagonism in globus pallidus: studies of locomotion and tremulous jaw movements in rats. ( Arizzi, MN; Correa, M; Ishiwari, K; Salamone, JD; Wisniecki, A, 2003)
