title: [Stimulation of cholinergic receptors and changes in cyclic nucleotide levels in the cerebral cortex of the guinea pig].
abstract: The effect of Atropine and Physostigmine on 3'5' AMP and 3'5' GMP content was investigated in slices of guinea-pig cerebral cortex maintained at rest or electrically-stimulated. Atropine and Physostigmine did not modify either the basal content or the electrically-evoked increase of 3'5' AMP and 3'5' GMP. On the contrary, Betanechol 25 micro M significantly increased 3'5' GMP and 3'5' AMP content in slices kept at rest. The effect was abolished by Atropine 1,5 x 10(-7) M and d-tubocurarine 7 x 10(-6) M, respectively.
