We characterized the effects of acetylcholine and endothelin on cultured human ciliary muscle cells, using the calcium-sensitive dye fura-2 to measure intracellular calcium and intracellular microelectrodes to measure the membrane potential. Both agonists, endothelin and acetylcholine, had a typical

The potential effect of different classes of steroids on the expression of acetylcholine receptors (AChR) was studied in different primary cultures of newborn-rat skeletal muscle cells. Comparison among three techniques for preparing newborn skeletal muscle cells showed that these systems were equiv
## Abstract In the studies reported here, we investigated whether the degradation of the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) in cultured muscle cells involves similar mechanisms as and is controlled in a manner similar to, the catabolism of the bulk of cell protein. We compared these processes after labe
