Sex differences exist in the reinforcement enhancement properties of nicotine, but the degree to which this extends to nicotine\u2019s ability to enhance behavior driven by aversive stimuli is unclear.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Aims and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The current study used adult male and female Sprague-Dawley rats to explore sex differences in nicotine enhancement of footshock (FS)-conditioned place avoidance. FS-conditioned and control rats were tested for conditioned avoidance of FS- or control-paired chambers after injections of saline or nicotine (0.3 mg\/kg, subcutaneously).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>FS supported place avoidance in both male and female rats, and nicotine enhanced avoidance.

Yet previous research of enhancement has overwhelmingly used male subjects and appetitive stimuli. Our findings confirm that nicotine also enhances behavior driven by aversive stimuli, and suggests that females may be more susceptible to nicotine enhancement. Such sex differences suggest sex may be an important factor to consider in treating dependence.<\/jats:p>\n
