Nicotine stimulates CREB phosphorylation which regulates the expression of myelin basic protein and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein.
No. It does not. It can not. It neither affect the neurons also.
The myelin sheath that surrounds the nerve
yes, in many ways
yes
Nicotine can affect brain cells and may damage the brain. Nicotine also cause problems with the lungs, and may cause cancer.Nicotine is a central nervous system stimulant that acts by increasing the production of the neurotransmitter serotonin.Nicotine increases blood pressure
They are all caused by either an abnormality in one of the protein components of myelin, or by a defective or missing enzyme that assists in the production or normal degradation of myelin
Some common questions about nicotine that people often have include: What are the health risks associated with nicotine use? How addictive is nicotine? What are the different forms of nicotine products available? How does nicotine affect the body and brain? Is it possible to quit using nicotine?
Oligodendrocytes - specialized neuroglial cells that assist in production of the myelin sheath.
No, the nicotine will affect the baby.
it causes breathing to become shallow
Oligodendrocytes are responsible for producing myelin sheaths around axons in the central nervous system.
The diameter of the nerve fiber and the presence or absence of a myelin sheath are the two main factors that affect the speed of nerve signals. Larger diameter fibers and a myelin sheath help to increase the speed of nerve signal conduction.
