These results suggest that spinal muscarinic receptors, especially M 1 subtype, mediate the EA-induced antiallodynia in neuropathic rats. (biomedcentral.com)
It has been shown that cholinergic receptors are present in the superficial and deep dorsal horn of the spinal cord, and activation of spinal nicotinic or muscarinic acetylcholine receptors produces analgesia [ 12 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
In this study, we investigated whether spinal nicotinic or muscarinic receptors play a role in the relieving effects of EA on cold and warm allodynia in the rat tail model of neuropathic pain [ 40 ], using intrathecal (i.t.) administration of selective antagonists. (biomedcentral.com)

Atropine is a nonselective muscarinic antagonist, i.e., it competes for binding sites on all muscarinic receptors, thus blocking the action of acetylcholine. (reviewofmm.com)
However, landmark studies concluded that it was unlikely atropine was exerting an effect via the accommodative pathway, as both atropine and pirenzepine (another muscarinic antagonist) inhibited myopia in chicks that lack muscarinic receptors in the ciliary muscle, and additionally, myopia could be induced in species that had no functional accommodative system. (reviewofmm.com)
4, 5 This resulted in a shift away from considering accommodative pathways to exploring pathways in the retina, choroid, and sclera as in most mammalian species, the muscarinic receptors (M1 to M5) are said to be present across these tissues. (reviewofmm.com)
Muscarinic receptors are also found in the retinal pigment epithelium, a layer that is involved in transferring the signaling cascade toward the target tissue-i.e., the choroid and/or the sclera. (reviewofmm.com)
Additionally, a study in chicks found strong support for muscarinic antagonists exerting myopia inhibition via M4 receptors that are likely located in the retina. (reviewofmm.com)
Another consideration is that atropine may be exerting its effect via mechanisms other than blocking muscarinic receptors. (reviewofmm.com)
