Figure 3. Schematic diagram of postulated mechanism of nicotine in regulating metal homeostasis. 1) nicotine chelates with copper to decrease the ROS generation and Aß aggregation; 2) nicotine affects copper homeostasis to down-regulate the APP expression; and 3) increased expression of CCS reduces the intracellular free copper ions.
