Chronic nicotine exposure attenuates the rise in blood pressure and protects from renal injury in female SLE mice: (A) Mean arterial pressure measured in control and SLE mice administered saline or nicotine for 7 days. n = 7–9 animals/group; P* versus Control/Saline; P + versus SLE/Saline; (B) Urinary albumin excretion, an accepted index of renal injury, measured in control and SLE mice administered saline or nicotine for 7 days. n = 7–12 animals/group; P* versus Control/Saline.
