The effects of carbamate anticholinesterases, pyridostigmine and physostigmine, on the function of the nicotinic receptor (nAChR) in TE671 cells was studied, precluding their inhibition of acetylcholine hydrolysis by carbachol usage. In radioassay, the simultaneous application of carbachol and carba
