Effect of Ingestion of Smokeless Tobacco on Motor Distal Latency of the Median Nerve
Abstract
Subjects were 17 men between the ages of 18 and 32 yr. and regular users of smokeless tobacco. Each subject received three treatments consisting of one pouch of Skoal Bandits, one pinch of their regular brand, and a nonnicotine piece of chewing gum. The nervous transmission at the neuromuscular junction in the right thumb was compared before treatment and once every minute for 15 min. after treatment. Repeated-measures analysis of variance indicated a significant increase in the distal latencies for both the brand-name grouping and in the regularly used brand. No such difference was found in a control group when compared to the pretest results. It was concluded that smokeless tobacco ingestion resulted in a delay in the nervous transmission across the neuromuscular junction. This delay was hypothesized to be caused by the enduring binding action of nicotine to the acetylcholine receptor sites, thereby blocking the impulse in some of the faster conducting nerve fibers.

In the citing paper
“Therefore, nicotine can display a biphasic effect at the neuromuscular junction whereby it exerts excitatory (acutely, when naïve or after withdrawal) then inhibitory (chronically, when tolerant) effects [2, 37].”

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.
