1 The decline in AIMs with combined nicotine and mecamylamine treatment was not additive, suggesting that nicotine exerts its effects via a nAChR interaction. Nicotine cholinergic receptor nicotinic beta 1 subunit Rattus norvegicus
2 The decline in AIMs with combined nicotine and mecamylamine treatment was not additive, suggesting that nicotine exerts its effects via a nAChR interaction. Nicotine cholinergic receptor nicotinic beta 1 subunit Rattus norvegicus
3 This latter finding, combined with data showing that mecamylamine reduced AIMs to a similar extent as nicotine, and that nicotine or mecamylamine treatment both decreased alpha6beta2* and increased alpha4beta2* nAChR expression, suggests that the nicotine-mediated improvement in L-DOPA-induced AIMs may involve a desensitization block. Nicotine cholinergic receptor nicotinic beta 1 subunit Rattus norvegicus
