Pharmacological and immunochemical characterization of α2* nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in mouse brain

, 2009
Aim: α2 nAChR subunit mRNA expression in mice is most intense in the olfactory bulbs and interpeduncular nucleus. We aimed to investigate the properties of α2* nAChRs in these mouse brain regions.

Assessing the potential for insecticide cross‐resistance to a novel insecticide in the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) using phenotypic and transcript expression analysis

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Phenotypic and transcriptional responses to imidacloprid and isocycloseram were examined across U.S. populations of the Colorado potato beetle, showing evidence of phenotypic cross‐resistance alongside population‐level variation in detoxification gene expression.

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1697-1716, April 2025.
In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

Pancreatic and snake venom presynaptically active phospholipases A2 inhibit nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) are enzymes found throughout the animal kingdom. They hydrolyze phospholipids in the sn-2 position producing lysophospholipids and unsaturated fatty acids, agents that can damage membranes.

Chrysin Mitigates Acetamiprid‐Induced Testicular Injury in Mice via Suppression of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Inflammation

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acetamiprid (ACP) is a neonicotinoid pesticide that is extensively utilized for the management of insect populations, but its toxic effects on the male reproductive system have become a source of concern. Chrysin (CHR) is a natural flavone found in many plants and bee products, including honey and propolis.

Varenicline for cannabis use disorder: A randomized controlled trial

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Although cannabis use is widespread and prevalence of cannabis use disorder (CUD) is increasing, limited advancements have been made in CUD medication development. The objective of this study was to test the efficacy of varenicline with medical management for reducing cannabis use in treatment‐seeking individuals with CUD ...

Associations of cannabis use, tobacco use and co‐use with brain volume: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Cannabis is the most widely used illicit drug worldwide and is often co‐used with tobacco, the leading cause of preventable death. Although cannabis and tobacco have distinct neurobiological actions, their associations with brain volumes are unclear.

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors: Ex-vivo expression of functional, non-hybrid, heteropentameric receptors from a marine arthropod, Lepeophtheirus salmonis.

PLoS Pathogens, 2020
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are ligand-gated ion channels mostly located in the post-synaptic membrane of cholinergic synapses. The natural neurotransmitter is acetylcholine, but they are also the direct targets for neonicotinoids ...

Cross‐sectional and longitudinal associations of cannabis use with cognitive functioning in individuals with a cannabis use disorder: The moderating role of nicotine

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Aims Cannabis is among the most widely used psychoactive substances globally and is often consumed alongside tobacco. Cannabis use has been associated with impairments in attention, learning, and memory, whereas nicotine can acutely enhance, but chronically impair, certain cognitive functions.
