Unfortunately, post-cessation weight gain is a substantial barrier to smoking cessation and sustained abstinence. Among people who smoke, 36% meet the body mass index (BMI) criteria for obesity and over 50% meet the waist circumference criteria for central obesity. Despite this, primary care providers currently have limited guidance on how to best treat their patients who want to quit smoking without post-cessation weight gain. There are common neurobiologic and endocrine dysregulations in nicotine dependence and weight gain. For example, nicotine dependence and obesity are both associated with dysregulation in hypothalamic neuropeptide systems and dopaminergic pathways. Medications for nicotine dependence act on dopaminergic pathways and hypothalamic pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) cells. Similarly, medications for obesity may increase dopamine and norepinephrine signaling and stimulate POMC activity. A unique medication, the fixed-dose extended-release combination of naltrexone and bupropion, supports both smoking cessation and weight loss by increasing dopamine and norepinephrine signaling and stimulating POMC-producing cells. This narrative review outlines neurobiologic mechanisms common to smoking and obesity and compares the effects of available pharmacotherapies on dopaminergic system and neuroendocrine dysregulation. Finally, this review outlines factors that primary care professionals should consider when treating people who want to stop smoking but are at risk of post-cessation weight gain.</p>","PeriodicalId":16357,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare","volume":"18 ","pages":"2889-2900"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12118490/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144173976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The application of RE in CVD patients also raises concerns for physicians due to adverse events related to cardiovascular responses. Therefore, this review aimed to explore the effect of RE on cardiovascular responses, cardiovascular risk factors, muscle strength, CRF, and the QoL, including its safety in CAD patients. Articles published in the last ten years were searched using PubMed, Science Direct, Research Gate, and Google Scholar databases using relevant keywords. Studies found that the administration of RE in CAD patients was proven safe when prescribed properly. Some literature showed that RE affected CVD risk factors by improving blood pressure, blood sugar, lipid profile, and body composition. In addition, systemic vascular resistance change led to vasodilatation and reduced blood pressure. Fatal and non-fatal myocardial infarction and mortality also decreased after progressive RE. High-intensity RE was proven to be better at increasing muscle strength compared to low-intensity because it produced a greater increase in the number of myofibrils and neural adaptation. Subsequently, aerobic exercise (AE) combined with RE caused a better increase in CRF. An increase in muscle strength and CRF, as well as diminished symptoms and controlled risk factors obtained from RE administration, increased QoL. To conclude, RE was a safe modality for QoL improvement in CAD patients through controlling risk factors and improving muscle strength and CRF.</p>","PeriodicalId":16357,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare","volume":"18 ","pages":"2813-2823"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12103856/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144142763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
