Effects of nicotine on the release of beta-hexosaminidase and NOx production from RBL-2H3. Cells were passively sensitised with anti-DNP IgE, incubated in nicotine solutions (62.5–250 μM) for 24 h, and then activated with DNP for beta hexosaminidae release, or accumulated NOx measured. No significant effects were seen. Data are the means of 4 experiments with the mean and S.E.M. expressed as % of control where mean (SD) baseline NOx = 3.5 +/- 0.11 μM (ANOVA performed on raw data, p > 0.05).
