Effects of nicotine on body weight in rats with access to “junk” foods
Abstract
The present experiment examined effects of nicotine on body weight of male and female rats when Oreo cookies, potato chips, laboratory chow, and water were available. Body weight and eating behavior were measured for 17-day periods before, during, and after nicotine or saline administration. There was an inverse relationship between nicotine and body weight. These effects were paralleled by changes in consumption of sweet foods. There were no effects of nicotine on salty or bland food consumption. Excessive gains in body weight after cessation of nicotine administration were greater for females than for males.

Cholinergic signaling can alter thermoregulation, sleep patterns, food intake and endocrine functions such as pancreatic release of insulin and glucagon.
“Cholinergic signaling can alter thermoregulation (Myers and Waller, 1973), sleep patterns (Steriade, 2004), food intake (Grunberg et al., 1988; Mineur et al., 2011) and endocrine functions such as pancreatic release of insulin and glucagon (Ishikawa et al., 1982).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
