The study also found that OXT can reduce addictive behavior for certain drugs, including methamphetamine, alcohol, and cocaine, suggesting a close relationship between the OXT system and drug abuse. Although nicotine is the main addictive substance in tobacco, its interaction with the OXT system is unknown and requires further study. Therefore, OXT levels in plasma and brain regions associated with addiction were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using chronic nicotine administration via a slow-release pump. In addition, the effects of OXT injection on nicotine self-administration behavior, motor activity, and intestinal microbiota in rats were examined by nicotine self-administration experiment, open field experiment, and 16S sequencing experiment. By depleting gut microbiota with oral antibiotics, this study aims to investigate whether gut microbiota mediates oxytocin effect on the nicotine self-administration behavior in rats. This study shows that chronic nicotine administration can reduce OXT levels in plasma and brain regions such as the paraventricular nucleus (PVN), ventral tegmental area (VTA), and caudate putamen (CPU). OXT at a dose of 1.0 mg/kg significantly reduced the number of nicotine infusions and the abundance of Lactobacillus in rats.

In this study, we investigated for the first time the role of mGluR5 in the transmission of noxious information in VINP.

The expression of c-Fos protein was also affected by MPEP. Furthermore, simulated blockade of intracellular mGluR5 site by intrathecal injection of small interfering RNA (siRNA) of the excitatory amino acid transporter 3 (EAAT3) reduced mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia and suppressed the expression of mGluR5 and c-Fos proteins.

To assess the potential of ELP in improving dementia and neuroinflammation in a scopolamine-induced dementia model in mice, a mouse model was induced using scopolamine hydrobromide, with Donepezil as the positive control. After five days of treatment, cognitive performance was assessed using the Morris water maze test. Motor function and anxiety-related behaviors were evaluated through the open field test.
