The purpose of this study is to describe the interrelationship between nitric oxide (NO) and
nicotine in cigarette smoking addiction, in view of the underlying hypothesis that NO …

Study objective Nitric oxide (NO), a gas produced by cells lining the respiratory tract, has
been reported to be decreased in the exhaled air of cigarette smokers. We hypothesized that …

Cigarette smoking is associated with an increased risk of respiratory tract infections, chronic
airway disease, and cardiovascular diseases, all of which may be modulated by …

Nicotine exerts its central actions by regulating cationic fluxes through nicotinic acetylcholine
receptors (nAChRs). By this effect, the drug likely also modifies events occurring beyond the …

A nitric oxide synthase inhibitor blocked nicotine abstinence signs and increased weight
loss in male, nicotine-dependent rats during withdrawal precipitated by the nicotinic receptor …

Nicotine may affect cardiovascular function through release of neurotransmitters from
autonomic nerves or release of vasoactive substances from the vascular endothelium. Nitric …

Smokers have been found to have low exhaled nitric oxide (NO) levels. The aim of the
present study was to investigate where in the respiratory system the decrease in NO occurs …

Cigarette smoking reduces the level of nitric oxide (NO) in exhaled air by an unknown
mechanism. The view that part of the effect of cigarette smoking on NO production should …

It is a well-known fact that smoking is associated with a reduction in exhaled nitric oxide
(NO) levels. There is, however, limited knowledge relating to the smoking-induced changes …

In recent preclinical studies, the role of nitric oxide (NO) in nicotine dependence has become
increasingly evident. Inhibition of NO synthesis blocks acquisition of conditioned place …
