Neuroprotection via nAChRs: the role of nAChRs in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
Epidemiological studies have identified a negative correlation between smoking and the development of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease, and in some studies, Alzheimer's disease. These findings have been attributed to the ability of nicotine to act as a neuroprotective agent. A large number of studies demonstrate that nicotine can protect against neuronal death in vitro an...
متن کاملNeurodegenerative disorders: Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease.
Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease are both model diseases. Parkinson's disease is the most common of several akinetic-rigid syndromes and Huntington's disease is only one of an ever growing number of trinucleotide repeat disorders. Molecular genetic studies and subsequent molecular biological studies have provided fascinating new insights into the pathogenesis of both disorders and t...
متن کاملPsychopharmacological neuroprotection in neurodegenerative disease: heuristic clinical applications.
In Part I of this report, the authors reviewed preclinical and clinical evidence of neuroprotection by psychotropics and proposed criteria to predict translational neuroprotection. Here, the authors review a broad array of neuroprotective mechanisms and, based on evidence reviewed in Part I, consider agents with pharmacodynamic mechanisms of action that may be associated with neuroprotection. T...
متن کاملNeuroprotection in Neurodegenerative Disease: From Basic Science to Clinical Applications
The limitations of current pharmacological treatments of neurodegenerative disease have led to the extensive investigation of novel compounds and nonpharmacological approaches to modify the course of these conditions, whilst reducing drug side effects. The definition of neuroprotection is complex and involves both preventing cell death and restoring function to damaged neurons, as well as resto...
