TLDR
It was found that psyehotropie drugs have marked differen- tial effects on the rate of I-IC-3 induced ACh depletion.Abstract:
The cholinergic antisynthesis agent HC-3 was given intraventricularly to young male rats 20--30 days old to deplete brain aeetylcholine (ACh). The rate of ~C-3 induced depletion of ACh was used as an index of ACh utilization. Total brain ACh was determined following various doses of ehlordiazepoxide, pentobarbi- tal, ehlorprom~zine, methotrimeprazine, imipramine, morphine, d-amphetamine, scopolamine, LSD-25, and phencyelidine give~l i.p. alone and after intraventrieular administration of I-IC-3. It was found that psyehotropie drugs have marked differen- tial effects on the rate of I-IC-3 induced ACh depletion.read more

TL;DR: It is concluded that various hallucinogens differentially affect the neocortical release of ACh in pretrigeminal midpontine transected cats.

The action of morphine and related substances on contraction and on acetylcholine output of coaxially stimulated guinea-pig ileum.
TL;DR: Morphine depresses the twitch and tetanus of stimulated guinea‐pig ileum by reducing acetylcholine released from cholinergic nerve endings and can desensitize the gut both to itself and to morphine.

TL;DR: A method to measure the rate of acetylcholine turnover in mouse brain in vivo has been developed using an enzymatic method using tritium‐labelled acetyl‐CoA and purified choline acetyltransferase.

TL;DR: The method of perfusing the anterior horn of a lateral ventricle with an anticholinesterase was used to study the effect of morphine on the output of acetylcholine, which is responsible for the paralysing action of opioids on the guinea-pig intestine.
