Smoker exposes your body of exposure to various harmful substances. Affected not only the lungs but also the cardiovascular system, skin and many other organs.
Scientists from the University of Graz in the course of research found out how to change the structure of the brain and metabolism in smokers. “Especially Smoking heavily affects the concentration of inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA, responsible for the regulation of the electrical activity of nerve cells in the brain,” scientists in the pages of the medical journal European Addiction Research.
The study group of 30 men and 30 women were divided into subgroups of smokers and nonsmokers, reported next.
The researchers found that the concentration of GABA in Smoking women is much higher than non-smokers. “GABA plays an important role in shaping cognitive functions, attention, new learning and memory. Many substances that cause addiction are directly associated with the simulation of this neurotransmitter,” reports Der Standard. At the same time, says the study’s author of Deepika, Bagga, Paul in this case plays an important role in men was observed only minor fluctuations in the level of GABA in the group of smokers and non-smokers.
“All women smokers over the last three years, smoked on average 15 to 20 cigarettes a day.” The age of study participants was 25 years. “Our study is one of the few in which a studied target group with a relatively moderate amount of smoked cigarettes daily. And if we have under these conditions fix a definite change in the brain that may come from the fact that older age groups and more heavy smokers the effect will be more pronounced,” says Bagga.
