Estimating the impact of treatment compliance over time on smoking cessation using data from ecological momentary assessments (EMA) [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The Wisconsin Smoker's Health Study (WSHS2) was a longitudinal trial conducted to compare the effectiveness of two commonly used smoking cessation treatments, varenicline and combination nicotine replacement therapy (cNRT) with the less intense standard of care, nicotine patch.

Insights into channel function via channel dysfunction [PDF]
, 2003 The nicotinic synapse has been a touchstone for advances in neuroscience ever since Jean Nicot, the French ambassador to Portugal, sent some tobacco seeds home to Paris in 1550 with a note that the New World plant had interesting effects when smoked. Now

The kynurenine pathway and the brain: challenges, controversies and promises [PDF]
, 2017 Research on the neurobiology of the kynurenine pathway has suffered years of relative obscurity because tryptophan degradation, and its involvement in both physiology and major brain diseases, was viewed almost exclusively through the lens of the well ...

G protein‐coupled receptor‐mediated autophagy in health and disease
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest and most diverse superfamily of mammalian transmembrane proteins. These receptors are involved in a wide range of physiological functions and are targets for more than a third of available drugs in the market. Autophagy is a cellular process involved in degrading damaged proteins and organelles

The activation mechanism of alpha 1 homomeric glycine receptors [PDF]
, 2004 The glycine receptor mediates fast synaptic inhibition in the spinal cord and brainstem. Its activation mechanism is not known, despite the physiological importance of this receptor and the fact that it can serve as a prototype for other homopentameric ...

Ultrastructural Distribution of the 7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Subunit in Rat Hippocampus [PDF]
, 2001 Acetylcholine (ACh) is an important neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain; it is implicated in arousal, learning, and other cognitive functions. Recent studies indicate that nicotinic receptors contribute to these cholinergic effects, in addition to ...

The role of alpha-7 nicotinic receptors in food intake behaviors
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 Nicotine alters appetite and energy expenditure, leading to changes in body weight. While the exact mechanisms underlying these effects are not fully established, both central and peripheral involvement of the alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor ...

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.Polymeric nanoparticles represent promising drug (gene) delivery carriers to the brain due to their unique advantages to facilitate the penetration of blood–brain barrier and endocytosis of neuronal cells in neurodegenerative diseases. ABSTRACT In spite of great advances in modern medicine, there are a few effective strategies for the treatment of ...
