Prenatal nicotine has no effect on the density of Iba-1+ cells in the PVN, PFLH, and CeA in P15 offspring exposed to 0.75 mg/kg/d or 1.5 mg/kg/d nicotine relative to control (n = 4/group)
| Iba-1+ cell density (cells/μm2 × 10−4) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Brain areas | Control | 0.75 mg/kg | 1.5 mg/kg |
| PVN | 1.45 ± 0.06 | 1.62 ± 0.09 | 1.60 ± 0.05 |
| PFLH | 1.19 ± 0.33 | 1.23 ± 0.08 | 1.40 ± 0.09 |
| CeA | 1.46 ± 0.10 | 1.57 ± 0.03 | 1.67 ± 0.05 |
Data are mean ± SEM, *p < 0.05 versus control.
