Popis: Intramuscular injection of acetylcholine, carbachol, or chlorosil into rats in doses of 20, 1, and 2 mg/kg respectively caused an increase in the rate of RNA synthesis in liver tissue after 6 h. In a dose of 0.025 mg/kg chlorosil did not affect this process but partially blocked the stimulation of transcription by carbachol. In a system of isolated hepatocyte nuclei carbachol and chlorosil did not change the rate of RNA synthesis. It is suggested that the effect of cholinergic ligands on the transcription complex is indirect and is due to their interaction with a cholinergic receptor or a site structurally connected with it in the hepatocyte plasma membrane.
