5) As 2-weeks pass, brain acetylcholine receptor counts up-regulated in response to nicotine''s presence have now down-regulated and receptor binding has returned to levels seen in the brains of non-smokers.
Three of these four genes belong to nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gene families [19] which are the known targets of insecticides, neonicotinoids [20], as well as naturally derived spinisyns [21].
Previous studies have shown that an antagonist of nicotine acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), called d-tubocurarine/a-Cobratoxin (a-CbT), may serve as an anticancer agent because it specifically targeted the a7 subunit of nAChRs, the area primarily associated with increased cell proliferation.
