  • a Denotes the maximum stimulation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis by carbachol

  • b The operational RAi values for oxotremorine-M and carbachol were estimated using eqs. 10, 11, 12, 13, whereas those for McN-A-343, S-aceclidine, and R-aceclidine were estimated using eqs. 8 and 9. In each analysis the concentration-response curve of carbachol was analyzed simultaneously as the standard
