The influence of glucocorticoids and catecholamines on the neuromuscular transmission

Abstract

© 2017, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. The review surveys the impact of “stress hormones”–glucocorticoids and catecholamines–on the functioning of the neuromuscular synapse. The review brings together the data on the influence of the main agents of stress–cortisol and norepinephrine–on the intensity and timing of the acetylcholine release, as well as signaling effect of its co-mediator ATP.
