Effects of Reversible Inhibition of Cholinesterase and Nicotine on Mouse Mortality and Blood Levels of Proinflammatory Cytokines during the Early Phase of Sepsis

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Experiments on outbred albino mice have shown that proserine (reversible cholinesterase inhibitor) and nicotine (nicotinic receptor agonist) in a equivalent dose of 0.2 DL50 injected 2 h before sepsis induction significantly reduced animal mortality from experimental infection due to reduction of blood concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6.
