Management of Anxiety in Parkinson's Disease
Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Anxiety is a common, distressing, hard‐to‐diagnose and hard‐to‐treat symptom in Parkinson's disease. No formal guidelines exist to assist management. Objective We provide a pragmatic guide to detecting and managing anxiety in Parkinson's disease.

Molecules, 2019 Neuronal α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are ligand-gated ion channels (LGIC) that have been implicated in nicotine addiction, reward, cognition, pain disorders, anxiety, and depression.

Activation of endplate nicotinic acetylcholine receptors by agonists [PDF]
Biochemical Pharmacology, 2015 The interaction of a small molecule made in one cell with a large receptor made in another is the signature event of cell signaling. Understanding the structure and energy changes associated with agonist activation is important for engineering drugs, receptors and synapses.

Cholinergic suppression: A postsynaptic mechanism of long-term associative learning [PDF]
, 1986 Food avoidance learning in the mollusc Pleurobranchaea entails reduction in the responsiveness of key brain interneurons in the feeding neural circuitry, the paracerebral feeding command interneurons (PCNs), to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (AcCho).

Cholinergic System Changes in Dopa‐Unresponsive Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease
Movement Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract Background Freezing of gait (FoG) is a debilitating mobility disturbance that becomes increasingly resistant to dopaminergic pharmacotherapies with advancing Parkinson's disease (PD). The pathophysiology underlying the response of FoG to dopaminergic treatment is poorly understood.

Nicotine Inhibits Clostridium difficile Toxin A-Induced Colitis but Not Ileitis in Rats
International Journal of Inflammation, 2016 Nicotine is protective in ulcerative colitis but not Crohn’s disease of the small intestine, but little is known about the effects of nicotine on Clostridium difficile toxin A-induced enteritis.

BMC Neuroscience, 2018 Background The treatment of Parkinson’s disease is often complicated by levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID). Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonists can alleviate LID in animal models but may be less effective in conditions of severe dopaminergic ...

Obesity, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to evaluate the added effect of acarbose to orlistat on relative weight loss in the novel antiobesity medication EMP16. Methods In this 6‐month double‐blind trial, 240 individuals with obesity or overweight and comorbidities were randomized equally into three groups: (1) EMP16 (120 mg modified release orlistat/40 mg ...

Gain of function mutants: Ion channels and G protein-coupled receptors [PDF]
, 2000 Many ion channels and receptors display striking phenotypes for gain-of-function mutations but milder phenotypes for null mutations. Gain of molecular function can have several mechanistic bases: selectivity changes, gating changes including constitutive
