1 We previously reported sexually diergic, dose-dependent HPA responses in vivo following nicotine administration: Male rats had greater arginine vasopressin (AVP) responses than females, and female rats had greater adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and corticosterone (CORT) responses than males. Nicotine arginine vasopressin Rattus norvegicus
2 Consistent with our in vivo and earlier in vitro studies, nicotine added to the hypothalamus tissue bath significantly increased HPA responses in a sex- and dose-dependent manner: Males had greater AVP responses than did females, and females had greater CRH responses than did males. Nicotine arginine vasopressin Rattus norvegicus
