The hypothermic responses of mice that occur after acute injection of nicotine show genetic influences. The body temperatures of mice of all 5 strains tested decreased after injection of either 0.75 or 1.5 mg/kg nicotine, but mice of the C3H strain were less affected than were those of the DBA, BALB or C57BL strains. Mice of the A strain were the most sensitive to nicotine''s effects. Genetic effects on nicotine-induced hypothermia were further examined using a 5-by-5 diallel cross. Additive genetic-variance occurred at both nicotine doses. Substantial dominance variance, including directional dominance toward a large hypothermic response induced by injection of a low dose of nicotine (0.75 mg/kg), suggested that an intense response to a low drug dose is adaptive. The directional dominance was absent after treatment with a high dose (1.5 mg/kg) of the drug. Epistatic interactions occurring in crosses involving C57BL mice were pronounced.
