Description

Type IA Nicotinic Receptors are a sub-type of Nicotinic Muscarinic Receptor (i.e. a Receptor for Nicotine) located in the Hippocampus of the Brain.

 

These Substances may Enhance the Function of Type IA Nicotinic Receptors

Amino Acids

 Creatine Phosphate (in the presence of Magnesium) may counteract the down-regulation of Type IA Nicotinic Receptors that occurs in tandem with the progression of the Aging Process.  [1]

 

These Ailments may Interfere with Type IA Nicotinic Receptors

Aging Process

 The sensitivity of Type IA Nicotinic Receptors to Agonists (stimulants) declines in tandem with the progression of the Aging Process(i.e. Type IA Nicotinic Receptors become down-regulated with time).  [2]
