Nicotine interactions with haloperidol, clozapine and risperidone and working memory function in rats.
Addy N, Levin ED.

Nicotine has been shown in a variety of studies to improve memory performance. The cognitive effects of nicotine are particularly important with regard to schizophrenia. In the current studies nicotine interactions with three different antipsychotic drugs, haloperidol, clozapine and risperidone, were assessed with regard to memory function. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were trained on the radial-arm maze to asymptotic levels of choice accuracy. They were then administered nicotine alone or in combination with haloperidol, clozapine or risperidone. Acute haloperidol (0.04 mg/kg) did not by itself affect memory performance. Co-administration of haloperidol with nicotine, however, decreased memory performance compared with nicotine administration in isolation. Acute clozapine (1.25 and 2.5 mg/kg) caused a significant memory impairment, an effect reversed by acute nicotine co-treatment. Risperidone (0.05 mg/kg), like haloperidol, did not by itself affect memory performance. Risperidone co-administration with nicotine, however, did significantly attenuate the improvement caused by nicotine administration in isolation. The similar interaction of haloperidol and risperidone with nicotine may be due to their common action of blocking D(2) receptors, a mechanism of action not shared by clozapine. In contrast to the interaction of nicotine with haloperidol or risperidone, nicotine effectively reversed clozapine-induced memory impairment. These studies demonstrate interactions between nicotine and antipsychotic drugs in terms of memory, which may have important impacts on the treatment of schizophrenia.

Determination of nicotine and other minor alkaloids in international cigarettes by solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.

Nicotine, nornicotine, anabasine, and anatabine are the most abundant alkaloids in tobacco. Along with the addictiveness of nicotine, other properties, including their occurrence in tobacco at relatively high concentrations, and as the primary precursors for the highly carcinogenic tobacco-specific nitrosoamines, make these chemicals important from a public health standpoint Therefore, developing a fast and accurate quantitative method to screen large numbers of cigarette samples for these alkaloids was important. This report describes the first use of headspace analysis using solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry for the unambiguous detection of tobacco alkaloids. Detection and confirmation of each analyte isestablished by both chromatographic retention times and the ratio of reconstructed ion chromatogram peak areas from characteristic quantitation ion and confirmation ion. Twenty-eight cigarette brands from 14 countries were analyzed. Surprisingly, the minor alkaloids' response factors varied considerably among different styles of cigarettes. Accurate quantification was achieved using a three-point standard addition protocol. The standard addition approach was essential to obtain accurate measurements by minimizing matrix effects that would otherwise have contributed to quantitation bias. Significant differences in the alkaloid profiles were measured in the different cigarette brands. These results strongly suggest that such differences reflect variations associated with blend compositions, tobacco quality, and manufacturing practices.

Hispanic farmworker interpretations of green tobacco sickness.

This paper describes the explanatory model of green tobacco sickness (GTS) held by migrant and seasonal farmworkers in North Carolina and compares it with a research-based biobehavioral model. GTS is a form of acute nicotine poisoning that affects individuals who work in wet tobacco fields. It is characterized by nausea, vomiting, headache, and dizziness. There are no standard diagnostic criteria for GTS; clinicians must diagnose it based on a combination of symptoms and exposure risk. GTS resembles pesticide poisoning, but treatment is quite different. Many farmworkers in tobacco today are Spanish-speaking immigrants from Mexico with limited experience in tobacco work. In-depth interviews about GTS were conducted with 23 Hispanic farmworkers in central North Carolina to explore their understanding of the problem. Workers generally attributed the symptoms to other aspects of working in tobacco, such as pesticides or heat, rather than nicotine. They cited many of the same risk factors identified in the biobehavioral model, such as wet work conditions and inexperience with tobacco work. Prevention and treatment include a combination of exposure avoidance and common medications. The symptoms of most importance to farmworkers were insomnia and anorexia, both of which impaired the ability to work. This jeopardized their income, as well as their work security. If health care providers understand the explanatory model held by farmworkers, they will be more effective at diagnosing and treating GTS and be better prepared to teach patients how to prevent future episodes.

Hair loss is genetically influenced, but it is always difficult to predict. Overall, more than 50% of US men suffer hair loss by their age of 45. Men are more likely to lose hair than women. Hair Million offers an alternative solution to hair loss problems. Anecdotal evidence and personal experiences indicate the efficacy of this herbal blend in improveming age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a number of people who take it. The mechanism of action as to how Hair Million works to help stop hair loss, and promote hair growth is totally unknown. It is only known by anecdotal observations. There has been no clinical trials nor placebo controlled statistical analysis on the efficacy of Hair Million on hair loss and hair growth. Propecia is a clinically tested drug for the purpose of reversing hair loss.
DHEA is a natural hormone, and it is produced in our body by the adrenal glands.
DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones)
or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells.
Our bodies produce decreasing amount of DHEA as we get older.
various health benefits: To deter aging,
improve sexual function/erectile dysfunction, treat cognitive decline, enhance athletic performance,
facilitate weight loss, improve strength, prevent osteoporosis, enhance immunomodulation for rheumatic conditions,
and treat depression.
