Fig. 1 Line graph of weekly body weight and weight gain/loss of control and nicotine treated female and male rats. Values are expressed as mean±SEM; n=5. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001. α, β, and δ – significant difference compared to control, 0.25mg/kg and between 2mg/kg and 4mg/kg respectively. One way ANOVA followed by SNK for post-tests. Pathophysiology 2014 21, 185-190DOI: (10.1016/j.pathophys.2014.08.003) Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd Terms and Conditions
