DOI: 10.1097/shk.0000000000000849
Abstract: ABSTRACT The role of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in physiological processes and disease is poorly understood. The hypothesis tested in this study was that selective alpha7 acetylcholine receptor (&agr;7AChR) agonist, GTS-21, releases IL-6 in association with myonuclear… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0214942
Abstract: α7 Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) reportedly reduce inflammation by blocking effects of the important pro-inflammatory transcription factor, nuclear factor kappa-light chain-enhancer of B cells (NFκB). The α7 nAChR partial agonist GTS-21 reduces secretion of pro-inflammatory… read more here.
