Introduction: This study aimed to assess the role of the rs16969968 variant of nicotinic receptor alpha-5 subunit in regulating smoking behavior and nicotine intake in response to nicotine manipulations among dependent smokers in a naturalistic environment.

Aims And Methods: Sixty-nine adults (19 females) smoking 10 or more cigarettes per day (CPD) were asked to complete four 2-week study phases during which they smoked exclusively one of two types of Spectrum nicotine research cigarettes (FTC nicotine yield 0.8 and 1.

  • Research showed that younger people have certain brain connections that help them remember rewards better than older people do, while older people might have different brain connections that help with memory.

The triruthenium oxo clusters [Ru(OAc)O(L)] and [Ru(OAc)O(L)(CO)] possess unique electronic characteristics that vary based on the ligands L. Here we report an investigation of the structural, electrochemical, and optical properties of clusters with imidazole, benzimidazole, and 4-phenylpyridine ligands. The complexes [Ru(OAc)O(L)] [1: L = imidazole (im); 2: L = benzimidazole (benzim); 3: L = 4-phenylpyridine (4PP)] and [Ru(OAc)O(L)(CO)] (1-CO and 3-CO) were synthesized by reaction of either [Ru(OAc)O(MeOH)] or [Ru(OAc)O(MeOH)(CO)], respectively, with the corresponding heterocycle.
