Nicotine plays a protective role in rats with induced viral pneumonia with polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid through α7nAChR
Objective: To study the effect of nicotine in rat model of pneumonia induced by polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid [Poly (I:C)] and explore the underlying mechanism. Methods: Twenty-four healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (200–250 g) were randomly divided into normal saline control group (NS g...
