Impact of chronic nicotine on the development and maintenance of neuropathic hypersensitivity in the rat

Abstract: These findings demonstrate that chronic nicotine produces a stable, long-lasting, mechanical hypersensitivity that exacerbates mechanical sensitivity resulting from peripheral nerve injury. The mechanism of this may involve an increase in spinal neuronal activity and apoptosis.

“…Our previous studies indicate that chronic administration of 8.6 mg/kg/day produces plasma nicotine and cotinine concentrations similar to those found in moderately heavy smokers [14]. Although lower doses of chronic nicotine have been shown to produce thermal antinociception [34], chronic administration of 1 mg/kg/day and 0.4 mg/ kg/day nicotine failed to alter mechanical sensitivity to pressure (unpublished observations).…”
