Oral Nicotine Self-Administration in Rodents.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nicotine addiction is a complex process that begins with self-administration. Consequently, this process has been studied extensively using animal models. A person is usually not called "smoker" if s/he has smoked for a week or a month in a lifetime; in general, a smoker has been smoking for many years. Furthermore, a smoker has free access to cigarettes and can smoke whenever she/he wants, provided there are no social/legal restraints. Subsequently, in an animal model of tobacco addiction, it will be desirable to expose the animal to free access nicotine for 24 hours/day for many weeks, starting at different stages of development.

Carbon Disulfide Mediates Socially-Acquired Nicotine Self-Administration
The social environment plays a critical role in smoking initiation as well as relapse. We previously reported that rats acquired nicotine self-administration with an olfactogustatory cue only when another rat consuming the same cue was present during self-administration. Because carbon disulfide (CS2) mediates social learning of food preference in rodents, we hypothesized that socially acquired...
متن کاملNicotine Decreases Ethanol-Induced Dopamine Signaling and Increases Self-Administration via Stress Hormones
Tobacco smoking is a well-known risk factor for subsequent alcohol abuse, but the neural events underlying this risk remain largely unknown. Alcohol and nicotine reinforcement involve common neural circuitry, including the mesolimbic dopamine system. We demonstrate in rodents that pre-exposure to nicotine increases alcohol self-administration and decreases alcohol-induced dopamine responses. Th...
متن کاملRodent models of nicotine reward: what do they tell us about tobacco abuse in humans?
Tobacco products are widely abused in humans, and it is assumed that nicotine is the key substrate in these products that produces addiction. Based on this assumption, several pre-clinical studies have utilized animal models to measure various aspects of nicotine addiction. Most of this work has focused on behavioral measures of nicotine and how other variables contribute to these effects. Here...
متن کاملP-35: Effects of Alcohol and Nicotine Co-Administration on Spermatogenesis in Adolescent Rat Testis
Background: Toxic effect of alcohol and nicotine on the other organs of body has been proven to some extent. Effects of oral alcohol and subcutaneous nicotine co-administration on spermatogenesis in rat are the aim of this study. Materials and Methods: Thirty healthy Spauge-Dawley male rats (average weight 160-210 g) were randomly divided to 3 groups (n=10). The animals in the first group recei...
متن کاملTolerance does not develop to the decrease in nicotine self-administration produced by repeated bupropion administration.
The atypical antidepressant bupropion has been shown to be an efficacious smoking cessation agent; however, its therapeutic mechanism of action is unknown. To further understand the mechanism by which bupropion reduces smoking, the present study determined the effect of repeated bupropion pretreatment on nicotine self-administration or sucrose-maintained responding. Rats were trained to self-ad...
