Effects of neuromuscular presynaptic muscarinic M1 receptor blockade on rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade in immobilized tibialis anterior muscles.

Abstract excerpt

This in vivo study tested the hypothesis that the modulation of acetylcholine (ACh) release by the M1 muscarinic receptor (mAChR) in the neuromuscular junction of disused muscles may affect the tensions of the muscles during the neuromuscular monitoring of a rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block and compared the results with those obtained from normal muscles. A total of 20 C57BL/6 (wild-type) and 10 α7 knock...
