[ 3 ] - The Effects of Isoniazid on the Acquisition and Expression of Morphine-Induced Conditioned Place Preference in Mice

Background: GABAergic drugs can modulate the rewarding properties of morphine. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of isoniazid, as a GABAergic agent, on the rewarding effects of morphine. Methods: Eighteen groups of female mice (eight per group) were used in a conditioned place preference (CPP) study. On the conditioning phase of the CPP p...

[ 4 ] - Effects of Isoniazid on Tolerance and Sensitization to the Rewarding Properties of Morphine: A Conditioned Place Preference Procedure in Female Mice

Introduction: The GABAergic system of the brain plays a key role in morphine tolerance and sensitization. As isoniazid is a modulator of the GABAergic system, the present study aims to understand whether isoniazid can influence the induction of tolerance and sensitization to the rewarding effects of morphine.  Methods: The rewarding effects of morphine and isoniazid were assessed using a Condi...

[ 5 ] - Safety assessment of a new strain of Lactobacillus pentosus (IBRC=11143) as a candidate probiotic
