Hypothesis-generating for M2-mediated cardioprotection in hypoxic cardiomyocytes; human translation requires prospective validation.
Does acetylcholine inhibit hypoxia-induced TNF-alpha production and protect cardiomyocytes?
Acetylcholine mediates cardioprotection against hypoxic injury in cardiomyocytes by activating the M2 receptor, regulating MAPKs phosphorylation, and down-regulating TNF-alpha production.
Li et al. (2010) studied this question.
