Nicotine rebalances NAD+ homeostasis and improves aging-related symptoms in male mice by enhancing NAMPT activity - Nature Communications
Nicotine, a metabolite of the NAD+ metabolic pathway, has been found to possess anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remained unknown. Here, the authors show that low-dose nicotine promotes SIRT1 deacetylation of NAMPT and enhanced NAMPT...Acute effects of nicotine on resting metabolic rate in cigarette smokers - PubMed
The acute effects of nicotine on resting metabolic rate (RMR) were examined to identify a mechanism that may help explain the inverse association between smoking and body weight. Multiple administrations of two nicotine doses (moderate [15 micrograms/kg body wt] and low [7.5 micrograms/kg body...Increased 24-hour energy expenditure in cigarette smokers - PubMed
We studied the effect of smoking on energy expenditure in eight healthy cigarette smokers who spent 24 hours in a metabolic chamber on two occasions, once without smoking and once while smoking 24 cigarettes per day. Diet and physical exercise (30 minutes of treadmill walking) were standardized...Acute effects of nicotine on serum glucose insulin growth hormone and cortisol in healthy smokers - PubMed
Cigarette smoking impairs glucose tolerance and alters serum levels of hormones involved in glucose metabolism, but the role of nicotine in such hormonal alterations is not well understood. In order to isolate the effects of transdermal nicotine on serum glucose, insulin, growth hormone, and...mainly this studyNicotine and cotinine effects on 3 alpha hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in canine prostate - PubMed
We have recently observed that cigarette smoking affects plasma androgen concentrations. The effects of nicotine and cotinine, two products of cigarette smoking, on testosterone metabolism were determined. The activity of delta 4 steroid 5 alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone to 5...

this one says nicotine lowers GH. how tf is that helpful?
Solid Htn with chadlite potential
aight poopoo bruh
aside from nicotine there is tar in tobacco, which is not benefitial at all
