muscle
• bladder and ileal smooth muscle do not respond to carbachol, even at concentrations that evoke maximal cholinergic contractions in wild-type
• ileal smooth muscle does not respond to carbachol, even at concentrations that evoke maximal cholinergic contractions in wild-type

vision/eye
• partially dilated pupils

nervous system
• hippocampal neuron pairs exhibit a reduction in the enhanced depolarization-induced suppression of inhibitory (DSI) postsynaptic currents in response to the muscarinic agonist oxotremorine-M, however it persisted to a substantial degree

behavior/neurological
• exhibit an increase in frequency of prandial drinking due to dryness of food as this effect is not seen with hydrated paste food

digestive/alimentary system
• carbachol-induced intracellular calcium concentration increase is markedly impaired in submandibular gland cells, however phenylephrine, an alpha1-adrenergic agonist, induces similar calcium responses as in wild-type
• salivary secretion is reduced in response to low levels of pilocarpine and although higher levels of pilocarpine induce considerable salivation, it is still less than in wild-type
• rate of saliva secretion is significantly lower than in wild-type during the early period after pilocarpine administration

endocrine/exocrine glands
• carbachol-induced intracellular calcium concentration increase is markedly impaired in submandibular gland cells, however phenylephrine, an alpha1-adrenergic agonist, induces similar calcium responses as in wild-type
• salivary secretion is reduced in response to low levels of pilocarpine and although higher levels of pilocarpine induce considerable salivation, it is still less than in wild-type

Pupil appearance of Chrm3tm1Mmt/+ and Chrm3tm1Mmt/Chrm3tm1Mmt mice.

growth/size/body
• smaller at around 3 weeks of age
• average body weight is only half that of controls at 4-5 weeks of age, however by 15 weeks of age, homozygous males catch up with controls while homozygous females remain smaller and are about 80% of wild-type weight

vision/eye
• exhibit dilated ocular pupils, however find no other eye abnormalities
• no change in pupil size in response to pilocarpine, a nonselective muscarinic agonist, however atropine instillation causes further dilation and completed mydriasis

renal/urinary system
• contractility of the detrusor muscles by carbachol, but not KCl, stimulation is decreased to only 5% of that seen in wild-type
• mild hydronephrosis in 3 of 10 homozygous males, showing a distended renal calyx with some perivascular lymphocyte infiltrations in the adjacent medulla
• bladder wall is thinner because of the severe distension and the submucosal layer contains some focal lymphocyte infiltrations in homozygous males, while the urothelium and renal function appear normal
• severely distended in males and mildly distended in females

muscle
• maximal contraction of ileal smooth muscle in response to carbachol, but not KCl, is decreased by 77% in males and by 72% in females
• contractility of the detrusor muscles by carbachol, but not KCl, stimulation is decreased to only 5% of that seen in wild-type

digestive/alimentary system
• salivary secretion is abolished in response to pilocarpine but not to isoproterenol, a beta-adrenergic agonist

endocrine/exocrine glands
• salivary secretion is abolished in response to pilocarpine but not to isoproterenol, a beta-adrenergic agonist

homeostasis/metabolism
• salivary secretion is abolished in response to pilocarpine but not to isoproterenol, a beta-adrenergic agonist

growth/size/body
• transient postweaning growth retardation, which is improved by feeding with paste food

muscle
• bladder and ileal smooth muscle do not respond to carbachol, even at concentrations that evoke maximal cholinergic contractions in wild-type
• noncholinergic contraction elicited by electrical field stimulation is significantly weaker when male bladder strips are stimulated at 1 or 10 Hz and is significantly larger when male ileum is stimulated at 1 Hz but not 10 Hz compared to wild-type
• noncholinergic contraction elicited by electrical field stimulation is significantly larger when female bladder strips are stimulated at 1 Hz but not 10 Hz and when female ileum is stimulated at 10 Hz but not 1 Hz compared to wild-type
• ileal smooth muscle does not respond to carbachol, even at concentrations that evoke maximal cholinergic contractions in wild-type

renal/urinary system
• seen only in males and no different from single homozygous Chrm3 mutant mice, however digestive tract, heart, lung and spleen were normal

vision/eye
• partially dilated pupils, however they are smaller than in single homozygous Chrm3 mutant mice
