Application

Acetyl-β-methylcholine (methacholine), an analog of acetylcholine, is use as a receptor agonist to study processes such as airway hyperresponsiveness associated with asthma.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Metabolically stable analog of acetylcholine; muscarinic agonist. Its ability to constrict airway smooth muscle is used to assess bronchial reactivity in the laboratory and clinically.

Evidence on the longitudinal association of airway responsiveness with respiratory diseases is scarce. The best indicator of responsiveness is still undetermined. We investigated the association of airway responsiveness with the incidence of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and allergic
