摘要: Menthol is a commonly used flavorant in tobacco and e-cigarettes, could contribute to nicotine sensitivity. To understand how menthol intake addiction, it important determine whether specific mechanisms related sex age underlie behavioral changes induced by menthol-laced nicotinic products. Using validated paradigm of nicotine-dependent locomotor stimulation, adolescent adult C57BL/6J mice both sexes were exposed nicotine, or laced with menthol, as their sole source fluid, psychostimulant effects evaluated recording home cage activity for ten days. Nicotine cotinine blood levels measured following exposure. Results show an interaction between treatment, age, on liquid consumption, indicating that responded differently based sex. Adult male greatly increased when given menthol. In female groups, did not have this effect. Despite increase promoted showed significant decrease locomotion, suggesting blunted nicotine-induced psychostimulation. This response was detected either These data confirm more than flavorant, can influence its effects. results suggest age- sex-dependent menthol’s studies including smokers are warranted.
