Menthol Stereoisomers Exhibit Different Effects on α4β2 nAChR Upregulation and Dopamine Neuron Spontaneous Firing
Menthol contributes to poor cessation rates among smokers, in part because menthol enhances nicotine reward and reinforcement. Mentholated tobacco products contain (−)-menthol and (+)-menthol, in varying proportions. We examined these two menthol stereoisomers for their ability to upregulate α4β2 nA...
