\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNicotine and Other Tobacco Compounds in Neurodegenerative and Psychiatric Diseases: Epidemiological Data on Smoking and Preclinical and Clinical Data on Nicotine\u003c/i\u003e provides a comprehensive summary of the epidemiological data on smoking and several neurological disorders, including Alzheimerâs disease, Parkinsonâs disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Touretteâs syndrome, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression and ADHD, as well as preclinical and clinical data on the effects of nicotine. Despite the obvious and undisputed harmful nature of smoking, evidence suggests that some tobacco and tobacco smoke-derived constituents may offer neuroprotective effects, possibly in combinations, rather than individually. \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis unprecedented book describes the complex relationships between smoking and neurological disease and the bioactive compounds found in tobacco. It provides a comprehensive review of nicotine and other compounds found in tobacco plant, with scientific evidence of neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects that may act in conjunction with nicotine to exert neuroprotective effects observed in smokers. \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy presenting findings beyond harmful cigarette smoke effects, attention can be drawn to individual compounds of tobacco that may serve as inspiration for further therapy development.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents the first comprehensive, tabulated summary of literature on the epidemiological data on smoking and neurological disease\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes preclinical and clinical data on nicotine in neurological diseases and mechanisms of action of nicotine in neuroprotection\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures a comprehensive summary of non-nicotine smoke constituents with potentially neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimerâs disease, Parkinsonâs Disease, Schizophrenia, Depression, ADHD, Anxiety and Touretteâs Syndrome in the context of smoking and nicotine\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e |
