Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have demonstrated that chronic infusion of DBA/2 inbred mice with nicotine results in a dose- and time-dependent tolerance to many of the effects elicited by a challenge dose of nicotine. This tolerance was paralleled by increases in the number of brain nicotinic receptors measured with L-[3H]nicotine and alpha-[125I]bungarotoxin binding, suggesting that receptor up-regulation may underlie...
