1 Chronic effect of nicotine on serotonin transporter mRNA in the raphe nucleus of rats: reversal by co-administration of bupropion. Nicotine solute carrier family 6 member 4 Rattus norvegicus
2 RESULTS: Chronic nicotine infusion resulted in the reduction of 5HTT mRNA expression, which lasted through withdrawal day 2. Nicotine solute carrier family 6 member 4 Rattus norvegicus
3 CONCLUSIONS: Chronic nicotine infusion reduces the synthesis of 5HTT protein, which may consequently precipitate depression during nicotine withdrawal, but co-administration of bupropion may ameliorate withdrawal symptoms by counteracting nicotine"s effect on 5HTT. Nicotine solute carrier family 6 member 4 Rattus norvegicus
4 CONCLUSIONS: Chronic nicotine infusion reduces the synthesis of 5HTT protein, which may consequently precipitate depression during nicotine withdrawal, but co-administration of bupropion may ameliorate withdrawal symptoms by counteracting nicotine"s effect on 5HTT. Nicotine solute carrier family 6 member 4 Rattus norvegicus
5 CONCLUSIONS: Chronic nicotine infusion reduces the synthesis of 5HTT protein, which may consequently precipitate depression during nicotine withdrawal, but co-administration of bupropion may ameliorate withdrawal symptoms by counteracting nicotine"s effect on 5HTT.
