Clearing the Smoke: What Protects Smokers from Parkinson's Disease?
Abstract The link between smoking and a lower risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the strongest environmental or lifestyle associations in neuroepidemiology. Growing evidence supports the hypothesis that the association is based on a neuroprotective effect of smoking on PD, despite the plausible alternative that smoking serves as a marker for a ...

The role of beta-carbolines (harman/norharman) in heroin addicts
SummaryEndogenous substances resulting from interactions between alcohol and possibly opioid metabolites and neurotransmitters (dopamine, indolamines) could be mediators of the pathochemical process towards dependence. Beta-carbolines (harman/norharman) are increased in alcoholics and — according to the presented results — in heroin addicts ...

β-Carboline Alkaloids and Essential Tremor: Exploring the Environmental Determinants of One of the Most Prevalent Neurological Diseases [PDF]
Essential tremor (ET) is among the most prevalent neurological diseases, yet its etiology is not well understood. Susceptibility genotypes undoubtedly underlie many ET cases, although no genes have been identified thus far. Environmental factors are also

Comparative Effects ofα-,β-, andγ-Carbolines on Platelet Aggregation and Lipid Membranes [PDF]
Cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption possibly affect platelet functions. To verify the hypothesis that someα-,β-, andγ-carboline components in cigarette smoke and alcoholic beverages may change platelet aggregability, their effects on human ...

Screening of norharmane from seven cyanobacteria by high-performance liquid chromatography
Cyanobacteria, including pharmaceutically and medicinally valuable compounds attract the great attention lately. Norharmane (9H-pyrido (3,4-b) indole found in some cyanobacteria revealed a great number of biological effects.Seven cyanobacteria were isolated and identified from Yesilirmak River and Gaziosmanpasa University Campus to determine the ...
