1 Furthermore, the DBI contents and its mRNA expressions were also increased in the cerebral cortex obtained from nicotine-dependent mice and the neurons after long-term treatment with nicotine. Nicotine diazepam binding inhibitor Mus musculus
2 Furthermore, the DBI contents and its mRNA expressions were also increased in the cerebral cortex obtained from nicotine-dependent mice and the neurons after long-term treatment with nicotine. Nicotine diazepam binding inhibitor Mus musculus
3 The nicotine-induced increases in DBI content and its mRNA expression in the mouse cerebral cortex and the neurons were completely abolished in the presence of an antagonist for nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. Nicotine diazepam binding inhibitor Mus musculus
4 These results suggest that the changes in the levels of cerebral DBI induced by continuous treatments with alcohol and nicotine may be involved in the establishment of dependence by alcohol and nicotine, and such changes may be regulated by the benzodiazepine and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, respectively. Nicotine diazepam binding inhibitor Mus musculus
