pirenzepine and Thiamine Deficiency

pirenzepine has been researched along with Thiamine Deficiency in 1 studies

Pirenzepine: An antimuscarinic agent that inhibits gastric secretion at lower doses than are required to affect gastrointestinal motility, salivary, central nervous system, cardiovascular, ocular, and urinary function. It promotes the healing of duodenal ulcers and due to its cytoprotective action is beneficial in the prevention of duodenal ulcer recurrence. It also potentiates the effect of other antiulcer agents such as CIMETIDINE and RANITIDINE. It is generally well tolerated by patients.

Thiamine Deficiency: A nutritional condition produced by a deficiency of THIAMINE in the diet, characterized by anorexia, irritability, and weight loss. Later, patients experience weakness, peripheral neuropathy, headache, and tachycardia. In addition to being caused by a poor diet, thiamine deficiency in the United States most commonly occurs as a result of alcoholism, since ethanol interferes with thiamine absorption. In countries relying on polished rice as a dietary staple, BERIBERI prevalence is very high. (From Cecil Textbook of Medicine, 19th ed, p1171)

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" In order to further evaluate this possibility, quantitative autoradiographic procedures using [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate (for total muscarinic binding sites), [3H]pirenzepine (for muscarinic M1 sites) and [3H]AF-DX 384 (for muscarinic M2 sites) were performed at early (presymptomatic) and late (symptomatic) stages of thiamine deficiency induced in rats by administration of the central thiamine antagonist, pyrithiamine."3.69A quantitative autoradiographic study of muscarinic cholinergic receptor subtypes in the brains of pyrithiamine-treated rats.
