1 Therefore, this study evaluated the effects of mecamylamine, a nAChR antagonist, on ethanol withdrawal signs. Mecamylamine cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha polypeptide 7 Mus musculus
2 In addition, chronic administration of mecamylamine into ethanol diet-fed mice markedly attenuated the ethanol withdrawal sign scores, thus supporting the contention that nAChR is involved in ethanol dependence. Mecamylamine cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha polypeptide 7 Mus musculus
3 In conclusion, our results suggest that mecamylamine exhibited inhibitory effects on ethanol withdrawal signs which could be mediated through nAChR. Mecamylamine cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha polypeptide 7 Mus musculus
