  1. Nicotine and Caffeine Chapter 12

  2. Leaves of the Nicotiana tabacum plant Nicotine History

  3. Nicotine Routes of Administration Inhalation Chewing Snorting Transdermal

  4. Nicotine • Metabolism of Nicotine • liver converts nicotine into metabolites • cotinine • half life: 2 hrs • acute tolerance

  5. Nicotine Site of action for nicotine • Nicotinic cholinergic receptors (nAChR) • Basic functions of different receptors: • Open Na+ channels  increase firing potential • Allows Ca2+ into cell  2nd messengers • Enhances NT release (presynaptic)

  6. Nicotine Site of action for nicotine • Nicotinic cholinergic receptors (nAChR) • Locations of receptors • Neuromuscular junction at muscles • PNS • CNS • Postsynaptic • Presynaptic membranes of other NT neurons

  7. Changes in cognitive functionNicotine-induced reduction of reaction time in a rapid visual information processing task Nicotine

  8. Nicotine Activation of mesolimbic dopamine system Time

  9. Nicotine Activation of mesolimbic dopamine systemNicotine self-administration in rats first exposed to the drug during adolescence vs. adulthood

  10. Nicotine Changes in mood • Smokers • Non-smokers

  11. Nicotine Factors other than NicotineWhole-body PET scans illustrating reduced MAO-B activity

  12. Nicotine Tolerance - acute - chronic Withdrawal symptoms • Decrease heart rate and blood pressure • Irritability • Hunger • Sleep disturbances • GI complaints • Headache • Impairment of concentration

  13. Nicotine Effects of smoking on general health Increased risk for: • Cancer • Cardiovascular disease • Emphysema • Chronic bronchitis • Decreased birth weight in infants for mothers who smoked

  14. Nicotine Why do people smoke? • Nicotine resource model • Deprivation reversal model • Positive reinforcement (DA reward system) • Substances other than nicotine • Genetic factors?
