1 The present study investigated PPARalpha as a possible mediator of the effect of alpha7 nAChR activation in nicotine dependence. Nicotine peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha Mus musculus
2 Our results demonstrate the PPARalpha antagonist GW6471 blocks actions of the alpha7 nAChR agonist PNU282987 on nicotine reward in an unbiased CPP test in male ICR adult mice. Nicotine peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha Mus musculus
3 These findings suggests that alpha7 nAChR activation attenuates nicotine CPP in a PPARalpha-dependent manner. Nicotine peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha Mus musculus
4 To evaluate PPARalpha activation in nicotine dependence we used the selective and potent PPARalpha agonist, WY-14643 and the clinically used PPARalpha activator, fenofibrate, in nicotine CPP and we observed attenuation of nicotine preference, but fenofibrate was less potent. Nicotine peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha Mus musculus
5 We also studied PPARalpha in nicotine dependence by evaluating its activation in nicotine withdrawal. Nicotine peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha Mus musculus
6 We also studied PPARalpha in nicotine dependence by evaluating its activation in nicotine withdrawal. Nicotine peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha Mus musculus
7 This suggests that PPARalpha plays a role in nicotine reward and withdrawal and that further studies are warranted to elucidate its function in mediating the effects of alpha7 nAChRs in nicotine dependence. Nicotine peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha Mus musculus
8 This suggests that PPARalpha plays a role in nicotine reward and withdrawal and that further studies are warranted to elucidate its function in mediating the effects of alpha7 nAChRs in nicotine dependence. Nicotine peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha Mus musculus
