| 1 | In parallel experiments, we found that (-)nicotine induces the basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) and the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in rat striatum. | Nicotine | brain-derived neurotrophic factor | Rattus norvegicus |
| 2 | In parallel experiments, we found that (-)nicotine induces the basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) and the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in rat striatum. | Nicotine | brain-derived neurotrophic factor | Rattus norvegicus |
| 3 | As FGF-2 and BDNF have been reported to be neuroprotective for dopaminergic cells, our data indicate that the increase in neurotrophic factors is a possible mechanism by which (-)nicotine protects from experimental parkinsonisms. | Nicotine | brain-derived neurotrophic factor | Rattus norvegicus |
