    Notes: Abstract The offspring of rats treated with nicotine (0.5 mg/kg/day SC) on days 1–20 of gestation, were trained for active avoidance conditioning when 60 days old. Although learning was similar in both control groups of males and females, nicotine exposure during fetal life improved learning in females but reduced it in males, the difference between these two groups being statistically significant from day 17 until the end of the training period (day 25).

    Notes: Summary Cholinergic mechanisms are currently thought to play an essential role in blood pressure homeostasis. Here we show that, in urethane-anaesthetized rats bled to severe hemorrhagic shock, the i. v. administration of nicotine 0.2–50 μg/kg causes a prompt, sustained and dose-dependent improvement in cardiovascular and respiratory functions, the animals' survival rate being significantly higher than that of animals treated with saline. These effects are prevented by bilateral cervical vagotomy and by concurrent local anaesthesia of the carotid bodies, which suggests that stimulation of visceral afferents is the main mechanism of action of nicotine in hemorrhagic shock.
