Muscarinic cholinoceptive reticular mechanisms and parabrachial neuron discharge: a novel experimental approach.

abstract：:Alzheimer disease (AD) patients show increased plasma levels of homocysteine, whose conversion to methionine is catalyzed by methionine synthase (MS). Although altered MS activity may result from the MS A2756G polymorphism, the latter's possible associ-ation with AD remains unexplored. To assess whether the MS A2756G ...
