===2005: [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16140176/ Neuroprotective effect of nicotine against 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NP)-induced experimental Huntington's disease in rats]===
*These results clearly showed neuroprotective effect of nicotine in experimental model of HD. The clinical relevance of these findings in HD patients remains unclear and warrants further studies.
*In conclusion, nicotine significantly and dose-dependently attenuated 3-NP-induced striatal lesions and behavioral deficits in rats. The protective effect of nicotine may be attributed to its ability of restoring striatal DA levels in 3-NP intoxicated rats.
