mecamylamine and Body Weight

mecamylamine has been researched along with Body Weight in 14 studies

Mecamylamine: A nicotinic antagonist that is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and crosses the blood-brain barrier. Mecamylamine has been used as a ganglionic blocker in treating hypertension, but, like most ganglionic blockers, is more often used now as a research tool.

Body Weight: The mass or quantity of heaviness of an individual. It is expressed by units of pounds or kilograms.

" MEC prevented CRS-induced depressive-like behavior via increasing sucrose preference, body weight, and forced swim test (FST) struggling and swimming while reducing immobility in FST and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis hyperactivity (adrenal gland weight and serum corticosterone)."3.81Behavioral effects of nicotinic antagonist mecamylamine in a rat model of depression: prefrontal cortex level of BDNF protein and monoaminergic neurotransmitters. ( Aboul-Fotouh, S, 2015)
" Chronic intermittent non-contingent, second-hand exposure to cigarette smoke or e-cig vapour led to similar brain cotinine and nicotine levels, similar urine cotinine levels and the similar up-regulation of α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in different brain areas, but had different effects on body weight, food intake, and the signs of mecamylamine-precipitated and spontaneous withdrawal episodic memory and emotional responses."3.81Different physiological and behavioural effects of e-cigarette vapour and cigarette smoke in mice.

"The symptom of "diminished interest or pleasure" in rewarding stimuli is an affective symptom of nicotine and amphetamine withdrawal, and a core symptom of depression."3.71Fluoxetine combined with a serotonin-1A receptor antagonist reversed reward deficits observed during nicotine and amphetamine withdrawal in rats. ( Harrison, AA; Liem, YT; Markou, A, 2001)
"Neonatal mice were administered nicotine (66 microg (-)-nicotine base/kg body weight (bw) s."3.70Neonatal nicotine administration influences ethanol-induced behaviors. ( Ankarberg, E; Archer, T; Eriksson, P; Fredriksson, A; Palomo, T, 2000)
"Cholinergic and anticholinergic agents were tested against the induction and expression of morphine dependence in rats."3.65Effects of cholinergic and anticholinergic drugs and a partial cholinergic agonist on the development and expression of physical dependence on morphine in rat. ( Frederickson, RC; Pinsky, C, 1975)
"Nicotine dependence was induced via osmotic minipump in adolescent rats (releasing 22."1.33Withdrawal from chronic nicotine in adolescent and adult rats. ( Spear, LP; Wilmouth, CE, 2006)
"The nicotine abstinence was mild and protracted, lasting more than 92 h."1.30Nicotine abstinence in the mouse. ( Hadjiconstantinou, M; Isola, R; Neff, NH; Vogelsberg, V; Wemlinger, TA, 1999)
"Pretreatment with mecamylamine caused a decline in DNA synthesis by itself, but nevertheless prevented the effect of chlorpyrifos."1.29Developmental neurotoxicity of chlorpyrifos: cellular mechanisms. ( Seidler, FJ; Slotkin, TA; Whitney, KD, 1995)
" On each day, the baroreflex, reactive hyperaemic responses and hindquarter vascular dose-response curves to i."1.29Baroreflex resetting but no vascular tolerance in response to transdermal glyceryl trinitrate in conscious rabbits. ( Angus, JA; Serone, AP; Wright, CE, 1996)
