Over the course of the 1970s, neuroscientists like Quik learned that the nicotine molecule fits into receptors for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine like a key into a lock.
By managing to slip through doors markedacetylcholine Only, nicotine revealed a special family of acetylcholine receptors hitherto unknown.
Under these conditions one species of alga Anabaena flos-aquae produces a neurotoxin anatoxin-A which depolarizes and blocks acetylcholine receptors causing death in animals that drink the pond water.
The researchers measured the people's blood-vessel function by examining how the vessels in their forearms responded to a molecule called acetylcholine.
They found that lycopene improved the blood-vessel function allowing the blood vessels to dilate more in response to acetylcholine in the cardiovascular disease patients.
It was also possible to measure neurochemicals including creatine and acetylcholine in the brain which provides a unique insight into brain metabolism.
This function is determined by the response of blood vessels in the forearm to a naturally occurring molecule called acetylcholine.
