Sex-dependent regulation of cholinergic responses in the mouse colon: functional evidence for reduced acetylcholinesterase-dependent control and nitrergic modulation in females

Despite the higher incidence of diseases affecting the digestive tract among women, sex-related differences in gastrointestinal motility remain poorly investigated. This study compared the contractile and relaxant effects of cholinergic, adrenergic, and dopaminergic stimuli across major gastrointestinal segments of mic...
