TL;DR: It is concluded that arecoline attacks multiple targets to finally generate systemic toxicity in mice and caused depression of antioxidants, i.e., superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, reduced glutathione (GSH) and glutATHione-S-transferase (GST) that are known to neutralize reactive oxygen species.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that arecoline inhibits pineal activity, but stimulates testicular function (testosterone level) and its target organs presumably via muscarinic cholinergic receptor in rats.

TL;DR: The findings provide the first evidence that regular use of arecoline may lead to prostatic hyperplasia and hypertrophy, and eventually to disorders associated with prostate enlargement.

TL;DR: It can be suggested that arecoline is effective in ameliorating the detrimental effects caused by insulin deficiency on gonadal and male sex accessories in rats with type 1 diabetes.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that adrenal and pineal glands respond primarily to noise and secondarily act on other endocrine organs including gonads in chicks, and adrenal directly and/or indirectly causes thyroid and gonadal dysfunctions via pineal following noise exposure in chicks.
