1 Acute intermittent nicotine treatment produces regional increases of basic fibroblast growth factor messenger RNA and protein in the tel- and diencephalon of the rat. Nicotine fibroblast growth factor 2 Rattus norvegicus
2 The pre-treatment with the non-competitive (-)nicotine receptor antagonist mecamylamine blocked the (-)nicotine effects on fibroblast growth factor-2 messenger RNA levels. Nicotine fibroblast growth factor 2 Rattus norvegicus
3 The present data indicate an ability of intermittent (-)nicotine to increase fibroblast growth factor-2 in many tel- and diencephalic areas. Nicotine fibroblast growth factor 2 Rattus norvegicus
4 In view of the trophic function of fibroblast growth factor-2, the previously observed neuroprotective effects of (-)nicotine may at least in part involve an activation of the neuronal fibroblast growth factor-2 signalling, and open up new avenues for treatment of Parkinson"s disease and Alzheimer"s disease based on the existence of nicotinic receptor subtypes enhancing fibroblast growth factor-2 signalling in many regions of the tel- and diencephalon. Nicotine fibroblast growth factor 2 Rattus norvegicus
5 In view of the trophic function of fibroblast growth factor-2, the previously observed neuroprotective effects of (-)nicotine may at least in part involve an activation of the neuronal fibroblast growth factor-2 signalling, and open up new avenues for treatment of Parkinson"s disease and Alzheimer"s disease based on the existence of nicotinic receptor subtypes enhancing fibroblast growth factor-2 signalling in many regions of the tel- and diencephalon. Nicotine fibroblast growth factor 2 Rattus norvegicus
