Do nicotine and amphetamine acutely cross-potentiate their behavioral and neurochemical responses in female Holtzman rats?
Overall, the present data demonstrate that acute interactions of nicotine and other psychomotor stimulants produce potentiative effects and that these transient interactions may play a role in the frequent co-use and abuse of nicotine and other stimulants.
CRP-induced CD32 expression and NF-kappaB activation were attenuated by simvastatin. A decrease in mevalonate and subsequent GGPP contributes to the inhibitory effects of simvastatin. These findings may provide an explanation of using statins on patients with high serum CRP levels.
