WASHINGTON, Sept. 17 -- American University issued the following news:
The discovery of a new signaling pathway in the brain is helping to unlock the biochemical mysteries between smoking and weight gain and loss. A research team, including bioanalytical neurochemist Alexander G. Zestos of American University, identified the pathway, which spurs beige fat cells to burn energy. That the pathway, already known to regulate nicotine dependence in the brain, also plays a role in metaboli . . .
