Abstract
Previously we reported that a single injection of nicotine decreased AP-1 DNA binding activity in adrenal medullae, although chronic bidaily nicotine (and saline) injections increased this binding activity [15]. Repeated acute nicotine injections (3 mg/kg i.p., 7 injections equi-spaced over a 3 h period) effectively increased adrenal tyrosine hydroxylase [3] and [Met5]enkephalin levels and also profoundly decreased adrenal medulla AP-1 DNA binding activity for over 8 h.
