Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Muscarinic receptors mediate acetylcholine-induced muscular contractions. In this study, mRNA levels of muscarinic receptor subtypes 2 and 3 (M(2) and M(3)) in the ileum, caecum, proximal loop of the ascending colon (PLAC) and external loop of the spiral colon (ELSC) were determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction in seven cows with caecal dilatation-dislocation (CDD) and seven healthy control cows. Levels of M(2) were significantly lower in the caecum, PLAC and ELSC and levels of M(3) were significantly lower in the ileum, caecum, PLAC and ELSC of cows with CDD compared to healthy cows (P<0.05). Down-regulation of M(3) may play a role in the pathogenesis of CDD.
