Perinatal hypoxia can lead to a number of serious medical conditions, such as Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) and brain injuries related to birth asphyxia. All three of these injuries are serious brain injuries that may lead to paralysis and severe brain damage.
1 A substance (or ligand) is cholinergic if it is capable of producing, altering, or releasing acetylcholine (indirect-acting) or mimicking its behaviour at one or more of the body's acetylcholine receptor types (direct-acting).2  Such mimics are called parasympathomimetic drugs or cholinomimetic drugs.n general, the word choline refers to the various quaternary ammonium salts containing the N,N,N-trimethylethanolammonium cation. Found in most animal tissues, choline is a primary component of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and functions with inositol as a basic constituent of lecithin.
Cholinergic drugs are medications that produce the same effects as the parasympathetic nervous system. Cholinergic drugs produce the same effects as acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is the most common neurohormone of the parasympathetic nervous system, the part of the peripheral nervous system responsible for the every day work of the body.
