摘要

Smokers often report that the first cigarette of the day is the most rewarding, and subsequent smoking is less rewarding. Reduction in smoking enjoyment later in the day may be related to acute tolerance to the discriminative stimulus effects of nicotine. We examined changes in nicotine discrimination behaviour in humans as a function of acute nicotine pretreatment. Male and female dependent smokers (n = 15) were initially trained to discriminate 20 microg/kg nicotine by nasal spray from placebo (0 microg/kg) without nicotine pretreatment. They then were tested on generalization of discrimination across a range of spray doses from 0-20 microg/kg following pretreatment with placebo, moderate dose (14-21 mg) or high dose (28-42 mg) transdermal nicotine. Generalization testing involved both two- and three-response ('novel' option) quantitative procedures. Subjects also engaged in a self-administration phase at the end of each session, involving choices between nicotine (20 microg/kg) and placebo spray. Nicotine pretreatment significantly attenuated nicotine-appropriate responding at higher nicotine spray doses, suggesting acute tolerance, but only in women. Similar results were seen for subjective 'head rush', suggesting this effect may be related to discrimination behaviour in women. However, nicotine pretreatment also increased novel-appropriate responding, especially in men, following intermediate generalization doses, suggesting qualitatively different stimulus effects. Although differences were not significant, nicotine self-administration tended to be inversely associated with nicotine pretreatment dose in men but not in women. These results only modestly support the notion of acute tolerance to the discriminative stimulus effects of nicotine, and even then only in women and not in men.
