Abstract excerpt
The role of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) containing the β4 subunit in tolerance development and nicotinic binding site levels following chronic nicotine treatment was investigated. Mice differing in expression of the β4-nAChR subunit [wild-type (β4(++)), heterozygote (β4(+-)) and null mutant (β4(--))] were chronically treated for 10 days with nicotine (0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 or 4.0mg/kg/h) by...
