Nicotine causes decrement in body weight, reduction in ovarian and uterine weight, irregularity in estrous cycle and histological damage in ovary and uterus in rats maintained on normal (18% casein) and protein restricted diet (5% casein). The degree of nicotine toxicity increases in protein inadequacy.
