1 Ethanol self-administration and nicotine treatment induce brain levels of CYP2B6 and CYP2E1 in African green monkeys. Nicotine cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily B member 6 Homo sapiens
2 The objective of this study was to determine the effects of ethanol self-administration and nicotine treatment, alone and in combination, on brain CYP2B6 and CYP2E1 levels in monkeys. Nicotine cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily B member 6 Homo sapiens
3 Immunocytochemistry revealed induction of both CYP2B6 and CYP2E1 protein in certain brain regions and cells within monkey brain as a result of ethanol self-administration, nicotine treatment and combined exposure to both drugs. Nicotine cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily B member 6 Homo sapiens
4 Combined ethanol and nicotine exposure induced CYP2B6 in the caudate, putamen, thalamus and cerebellum (1.4-2.4 fold, P < 0.05), and CYP2E1 in the frontal cortex and putamen (1.5-1.8, P < 0.05). Nicotine cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily B member 6 Homo sapiens
5 In summary, ethanol and nicotine can induce CYP2B6 and CYP2E1 protein in the primate brain, which could potentially result in altered sensitivity to centrally acting drugs and toxins. Nicotine cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily B member 6 Homo sapiens
