Cigarette smokers tend to drink more alcohol than their nonsmoking peers. In this issue of Neuron, Doyon et al. (2013) found that nicotine-induced increases in stress hormones can augment ethanol self-administration in rats, suggesting that a drug interaction may contribute to this phenomenon.
烟民往往比不吸烟的同龄人饮酒更多。在本期《神经元》杂志上,Doyon 等人(2013)发现,尼古丁引起的应激激素增加会增强大鼠的乙醇自我给药行为,这表明药物相互作用可能促成了这一现象。
