Effect of Nicotine-Induced Corticosterone Elevation on Nitric Oxide Production in the Passive Skin Arthus Reaction in Rats

To elucidate the anti-inflammatory action of nicotine-induced corticosterone elevation on the passive skin Arthus reaction (PSAR), we investigated the inflammatory process in the PSAR. The polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMNs) infiltration was observed just before as well as after elicitation by measur...
