Little evidence that "denicotinized" menthol cigarettes have pharmacological effects: an EEG/heart-rate/sujective-response study.

Abstract:

RATIONALE:A substantial portion of cigarette smokers prefer menthol-flavored cigarettes. To date, however, no studies have examined whether menthol in cigarettes has central pharmacological effects. OBJECTIVE:We investigated psychophysiological and subjective effects of smoking menthol versus non-menthol cigarettes in both menthol and non-menthol smokers. To assess these effects independently of the immediate effects of nicotine, all cigarettes employed were "denicotinized" (FTC nicotine yield = 0.06 mg). METHODS:The psychophysiological measures were EEG and heart rate (HR). The subjective measures assessed mental alertness, muscular relaxation, anxiety/nervousness, and how much a participant wanted to smoke one of his usual brand of cigarettes. Menthol and non-menthol smokers participated in a single session in which each participant smoked both a menthol and a non-menthol denicotinized cigarette (order balanced across participants). The psychophysiological and subjective measures were recorded before and after smoking each cigarette. RESULTS:Out of 48 F-ratios spanning 22 analyses of variance involving the critical interaction between pre-/post-smoking and menthol/non-menthol cigarette, only one unambiguously fit a "pharmacological" pattern, a result indistinguishable from a type-I statistical error. We report evidence that menthol smokers may be chronically less aroused and more sensitive to the effects of nicotine than non-menthol smokers. CONCLUSIONS:We found little evidence that menthol in cigarettes has central pharmacological effects.

  • Facilitation and inhibition of feeding by a single dose of amphetamine: relationship to baseline intake and accumbens cholecystokinin.

    abstract::Amphetamine (AMP) administered in high doses suppresses feeding. However, in low doses AMP has been shown to both suppress and facilitate feeding. Further, there is some indication of individual differences in the feeding response to low doses of AMP. Evidence indicates that AMP's effects on feeding are dopamine-media...
