Descriptor Spanish: Estimulantes Ganglionares
Descriptor estimulantes ganglionares
Scope note: Sustancias que emulan la transmisión neural mediante la estimulación de los receptores nicotínicos de las neuronas posganglionares del sistema nervioso autónomo. No están incluidos en este concepto los fármacos que aumentan indirectamente la transmisión ganglionar al incrementar la liberación o disminuir la eliminación de la acetilcolina o a través de sus efectos no nicotínicos sobre las neuronas posganglionares, ni tampoco los agonistas colinérgicos inespecíficos.

Scope note: Agents that mimic neural transmission by stimulation of the nicotinic receptors on postganglionic autonomic neurons. Drugs that indirectly augment ganglionic transmission by increasing the release or slowing the breakdown of acetylcholine or by non-nicotinic effects on postganglionic neurons are not included here nor are the nonspecific cholinergic agonists.
