By contrast, administration of nicotine at either low (0.3 mg/kg) or high (3 mg/kg) doses failed to alter DNA synthesis. To examine effects on cells that were not undergoing mitosis, we examined ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), an enzymatic marker for cell damage. One day old rats showed ...
1. If a patient suffered from stroke just an hour ago, what testing can be done to asses brain function? 2. What treatment approaches can be used to minimize the functional loss of brain? Which of these drugs may be used in the treatment of recurrent calciu...
It is well known that smoking may affect neurodevelopment, however, it is not known whether AA, in addition to nicotine or other compounds in cigarette smoke, might contribute to these effects. The impact on growth from maternal dietary AA exposure was similar in smoking and non-smoking women....

Marvin Schulte — who specializes in nicotine receptors — connected the dots between these existing findings, and they saw that the properties of amino acids in rabies glycoprotein might be key in influencing the host’s frenzied behavior following infection with the virus. “We knew that ...
4. Does Nicotine Alter Hematopoiesis by Direct Action on HSCs? Tobacco product use is associated with increased WBC counts in peripheral blood which is a sign of increased systemic inflammation [12,13,14,15,16,33,34,35]. Specifically, it is known that nicotine in tobacco products can alter ...
Electronic cigarettes (ECs) are popular battery-operated devices, which aerosolize e-liquids (nicotine or non-nicotine containing flavored mixtures) using a heating coil [1,2]. Some studies have suggested that EC use may be a healthy long-term alternative to cigarette smoking that can help rever...
