Abstract Nicotine and menthol, agonists of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and transient receptor potential
melastatin type 8 (TRPM8), serve important roles in the prevention of cell death-involved neurodegenerative diseases.
However, the potential synergistic effects of nicotine and menthol on anti-apoptotic ability are still uncertain. In the
present study, the potential synergistic effects of nicotine and menthol on cisplatin or amyloid β1-42 induced cell
model of the neurodegenerative diseases were explored by assessing cell viability, TNF-α expression, caspase-3
activation, and the collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential in human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. Statistical
significance was tested using Student’s t-test… More >
