The involvement of the central cholinergic system in the hyperventilation effect of centrally injected nesfatin-1 in rats

We recently demonstrated that peripheral and central administration of nesfatin-1 in fasting and satiety states generate hyperventilation activity by increasing tidal volume (TV), respiratory rate (RR), and respiratory minute ventilation (RVM). The present study aimed to investigate the mediation of central cholinergic receptors effective in respiratory control in the hyperventilation activity of nesfatin-1. Besides this, we intended to...
