## Abstract Pathological angiogenesis contributes to tobaccoβrelated diseases such as malignancy, atherosclerosis and ageβrelated macular degeneration. Nicotine acts on endothelial nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) to activate endothelial cells and to augment pathological angiogenesis. In

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-channels (AChR) are believed to be the target site of cartap. In order to clarify the mechanisms of the cartap interaction with nicotinic AChRs, singlechannel patch clamp experiments were performed using rat clonal phaeochromocytoma (PC12) cells. Cartap increased the
## Abstract The neuronalβtype Ξ±7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (Ξ±7AChR) is also found in various nonβneural tissues, including vascular endothelium, where its peculiar ionotropic properties (high Ca^2+^ permeability) and its supervening Ca^2+^βmediated intracellular cascades may play important r
Since physostigmine (Phy) is presently used in the experimental treatment of Alzheimer disease (AD) patients by means of intracerebral ventricular (i.c.v.) administration, we designed a study to determine the effect of the drug administered by the same route on the cholinergic system of the rat brai
