Effects of passive exposure to tobacco smoke on [125I]-α-bungarotoxin binding.

Brain region Control (n=6) Tobacco (n=6)
CA1 15.0 ± 1.1 14.8 ± 2.1
CA2/3 52.0 ± 2.6 64.6 ± 2.5**
Dentate Gyrus 39.6 ± 1.9 43.1 ± 4.0
Hilus of dentate gyrus 121.5 ± 2.8 130.9 ± 3.2
Stratum oriens 68.2 ± 2.7 79.8 ± 2.4**
Cortex layers 1–4 33.5 ± 2.3 30.3 ± 2.6
Cortex layers 5–6 60.0 ± 3.0 63.6 ± 2.3

Data are expressed as means ± SEM. Asterisks (**P<0.01) indicate increased [125I]-α-bungarotoxin binding compared to the control group.
