Stimulation of nicotinic and muscarinic cholinoreceptors (nAChR, mAChR) in outbred albino mice with nicotine and aceclidine, respectively, in single equilethal doses 0.5 DL50 6 h before sepsis induction signifi cantly reduced animal mortality due to a decrease in blood concentrations of proinfl ammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and MIP-2. Stimulation of mAChR (injection of aceclidine) stimulated the neutrophilic phagocytic and metabolic activity. Realization of the cholinergic anti-infl ammatory pathway (stimulation of the peripheral nicotinic cholinoreceptors (α7nAChR) and central muscarinic cholinoreceptors (mAChR) was modulated by stimulation of the muscarinic cholinoreceptors of the phagocytic monocytic system cells.
