Sex differences in the reward deficit and somatic signs associated with precipitated nicotine withdrawal in rats


About the Author:

My name is Stefany Panunzio and I am a second year medical student. I was born in Caracas, Venezuela and am the first in my family to attend medical school. I love to travel and spend time with family and friends and aspire to one day be an OB/GYN.


About the Work:

Female smokers are more likely to relapse than male smokers, but little is known about sex differences in nicotine withdrawal. Therefore, male and female rats were prepared with minipumps that contained nicotine or saline and sex differences in precipitated and spontaneous nicotine withdrawal were investigated.
