  • (v. i.) To suffer pain; to have, or be in, pain, or in continued pain; to be distressed.

Example Sentences:

  • (3) At 100 microM-ACh the apparent open time became shorter probably due to channel blockade by ACh molecules.
  • (4) ACh released from the vesicular fraction was about 100-fold more than could be accounted for by miniature end-plate potentials; possible causes of this overestimate are discussed.
  • (5) The nature of the putative autoantigen in Graves' ophthalmopathy (Go) remains an enigma but the sequence similarity between thyroglobulin (Tg) and acetylcholinesterase (ACHE) provides a rationale for epitopes which are common to the thyroid gland and the eye orbit.

  • (8) This paper examines the chiral nature of the covalent conjugates formed upon reaction of acetylcholinesterase (AchE) with enantiomeric cycloheptyl, isopropyl, and 3,3-dimethylbutyl methylphosphonyl thiocholines.
  • (9) The results suggest that AH5183 does not bind to the ACh transporter recognition site on the outside of the vesicle membrane, and thus it might inhibit allosterically.

  • (13) These results suggest that different molecular factors might mediate the effects on GABA and ACh synthesis.
  • (14) At the adult neuromuscular junction, acetylcholine (ACh) receptors are highly localized at the subsynaptic membrane, whereas, embryonic myotubes before innervation have receptors distributed over the entire surface.
  • (15) Nitric oxide (NO) induced tetrodotoxin-resistant NANC relaxation, similar to that induced by electrical stimulation or acetylcholine (ACh).
  • (16) In senescent rats, however, the proportions of salt-soluble and detergent-soluble AChE may differ from those in young rats.
  • (17) In addition, in these animals blood AChE and butyrylcholine esterase (BuChE) activities were determined.
  • (18) Roles of the LHA dopaminergic and cholinergic systems in CTS learning were investigated by electrophoretic application of dopamine (DA) and acetylcholine (ACh), and their antagonists.
  • (19) The absence of ACh therefore appears to reduce the cortical response to stimulation, while background activity values do not change.
  • (20) As stimulus rate was decreased, blockade of secretion resulted from fewer stimuli but no difference in ACh content was found between stimulated and unstimulated glands.

Aitch


Definition:

  • (n.) The letter h or H.
