Synopsis

Describing the latest research and clinical advances in what has become a rapidly-evolving field, this book covers the scope of nicotinic pharmacology. Highlights include: the identification and molecular structure of nicotinic receptor subtypes; neuronal, trophic and endocrine effects of nicotine; nicotinic receptor regulation and tolerance; pharmacological actions of nicotine metabolites; the role of nicotine in tobacco smoking; and teratogenic effects of nicotine. The potential therapeutic benefits of nicotinic * in Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Tourette's syndrome and ulcerative colitis are also discussed. This book should be of interest to pharmacologists, toxicologists, neuroscientists, behavioural scientists and medical doctors. It should also be a useful reference for those involved with the social problems related to tobacco consumption.
