The effect of nicotinic and muscarinic receptor blockade on cholera toxin induced intestinal secretion in rats and cats
Abstract
The effects of hexamethonium (cholinergic nicotinic receptor antagonist) and atropine (cholinergic muscarinic receptor antagonist) on cholera toxin induced secretion were investigated in denervated segments of the small intestine of rats and cats. While there was no effect of atropine, hexamethonium markedly inhibited choleraic secretion and turned it into a net fluid absorption in many animals. This observation further strengthens our hypothesis that the enteric nervous system is involved in cholera secretion.
