abstract = {AIM: The influences of desensitized nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) on the activities of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) were investigated in single cultured rat superior cervical ganglion.
METHODS: Whole-cell patch-clamp techniques were used.
RESULTS: An inward current was induced by nicotine 80 micromol/L in the sympathetic neurons and desensitized rapidly after the prolonged exposure to nicotine. An outward current was induced by oxotremorine 100 micromol/L or pilocarpine 100 micromol/L and it showed no desensitization after exposure to its agonists. After nAChR desensitized completely, the current evoked by oxotremorine was increased significantly compared with its control. There were (42 38) % (n=8, P},
