Component

Atropine, a muscarinic acetylcholine antagonist

Atropine, a muscarinic acetylcholine antagonist. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

  1. At high levels of dihydrocapsaicin infusion above 2.0 mg/kg/h two single episodes of transient bradycardia and hypotension were observed in 33% of healthy rats, consistent with a TRPV1-agonist-induced Bezold-Jarisch reflex, whereas in resuscitated rats multiple episodes were observed in 100% of the rats at a dose of 0.65 mg/kg/h, and this effect could be completely blocked in the resuscitated rats by pre-treatment with the muscarinic acetylcholine antagonist atropine.
