The Role Of Α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors In Post-Acute Sequelae Of Covid-19
Skok
Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 or Long COVID becomes evident some weeks to months following acute COVID-19. Symptoms include cognitive impairment and varying degrees of memory loss with no definitive...

Abstract
The disturbance of the central nervous system and immunological abnormalities have been suggested in patients with chronic...
Significance
ACh-releasing choline acetyltransferase (ChAT)+ T cells promote vasodilation and regulate blood pressure in mice, but human ChAT+ T cells and the molecular mechanisms by which ChAT-expression is regulated remain undefined. In this study, we identify primary ChAT+ T cells in patients...

Abstract
Following a SARS-CoV-2 infection, many individuals suffer from post-COVID-19 syndrome. It makes them unable to proceed with common everyday activities due to weakness, memory lapses, pain, dyspnea and other unspecific physical complaints.
Several investigators...
ABSTRACT
Background
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is characterized by intractable fatigue, post-exertional malaise, and orthostatic intolerance, but its pathophysiology is poorly understood. Pharmacologic cholinergic stimulation was used to test the hypothesis that...

Abstract
Objective: Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS), the most common form of dysautonomia, may be associated with autoimmunity in some cases. Autoantibodies against the ganglionic acetylcholine receptor (gAChR) have been reported in a minority of...
(Note that this is an old study from 2004)
Abstract
Context: There is no established pharmacological treatment for the core symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Galantamine hydrobromide, an acetyl cholesterone inhibitor, has pharmacological properties that might benefit patients with...
