Abstract
Chronic inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activity by treatment with diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP) decreased the capacity of acetylcholine (ACh) acting at a muscarinic receptor to inhibit basal adenylate cyclase activity in homogenates from rat striatum. There was also a loss of the capacity of ACh to inhibit the activation of adenylate cyclase by dopamine. The desensitization of the muscarinic receptor adenylate cyclase complex was associated with a marked attenuation of the capacity of ACh to stimulate a high-affinity GTPase activity present in striatal membranes. The EC50 value of ACh for inhibiting adenylate cyclase
