目的:制备一种尼古丁给药和撤药大鼠模型,通过三项相关指标评价该模型的特征与应用研究价值。方法:10~11周龄的雄性SD大鼠随机分为生理盐水组、尼古丁给药组和尼古丁撤药组3组。生理盐水组给生理盐水6周;尼古丁给药组给尼古丁(3mg·kg-1·d-1)6周;尼古丁撤药组先给尼古丁(3mg·kg-1·d-1)3周,随后改为给生理盐水3周。各组给药途径均为皮下注射,每日1次,给药容积为0.5ml/kg,同时记录体质量、饮食量和饮水量的变化。造模后通过体质量、血清生化指标、各部位脂肪称量来评价该模型。结果:尼古丁给药后体质量下降;血清三酰甘油、胰岛素水平降低;皮下脂肪、内脏脂肪和主动脉周围脂肪质量减少;撤药后上述指标回升。结论:该模型可用于研究尼古丁的多种药理作用,以及吸烟、戒烟对机体的影响。
Objective:To establish a nicotine-treatment and -withdrawal rat model and to evaluate its characteristics and application through analyzing 3 parameters. Methods:Male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 10-11 weeks old, were randomly divided into normal saline group(subcutaneous injection of saline [0.5 ml/kg] for 6 weeks), nicotine-treated group (injection with nicotine [5 ml/kg, 3 mg/(kg · d)] for 6 weeks), and nicotine-withdrawn group (injection with nicotine [0.5 ml/kg, 3 mg/(kg · d)] for 3 weeks and followed by saline injection for additional 3 weeks). Body weight, food intake, and water intake of animals were recorded during the treatment in 3 groups. The model was evaluated through analyzing body weight, serum parameters and adipose tissue weights. Results:The body weight of rats, as well as the serum levels of triglyceride and insulin, were all decreased after nicotine treatment; the weights of subcutaneous fat, visceral fat and periaortic fat were also decreased. The above indicators increased after withdrawal of nicotine. Conelusion:The established model can be used to study multiple pharmacological effects of nicotine; it can also be used for smoking and smoking cessation related studies.
