Administration of apomorphine and amphetamine induces climbing behavior in mice due to stimulation of brain dopamine receptors. In the present study, the effects of adrenoceptor agonists and antagonists on amphetamine-induced climbing have been investigated. Intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of different doses of amphetamine (2,4 and 8 mglkg) induced climbing in mice (p<O.OOO 1). The u2- ad...

background increased prevalent use of methamphetamine is a global public challenge. information on drug use can be helpful in preventing high-risk behavior related to drug abuse. objectives this study aims to investigate the sexual function changes related to methamphetamine use in the male clients of public and private addiction treatment centers. patients and methods in this qualitative study...

intraperitoneal (ip) injection of bupropion (3,6, amine (4,16 mg kg•&apos;) induced dose-dependent climbing in mice. the climbing response induced by both drugs were decreased in animals pretreated either with the 0-1 antagonist sch 233<)0 or the 0-2 antagonist sulpiride. the α-adrenoceptor blocker phenoxybenzamine decreased the climbing induced by both bupropion and amphetamine, but the β-adre...

conclusions the findings of the study showed that, compared with the opiate users, methamphetamine users are younger, more likely to be single, and less likely to have received treatment. we recommend that policymakers should not only design preventive programs for improving the level of knowledge about stimulant use, but also prepare treatment plans and facilities for this newly emerged substa...

  There is evidence indicating that adrenoceptor mechanisms may influence some of the behaviors in rat. However the role of adrenoceptor agents on sniffing has not been identified. In the present study, the influence of adrenoceptor agents on sniffing induced by apomorphine and amphetamine has been investigated. Male Albino rats, weighing 150-250 g were used for all experiments. The behavior wa...

conclusions performing htp can improve hopefulness and symptoms of patients, specially addicted ones. in addition, it can prevent substance abusers from returning to drugs and leaving the treatment period unfinished. results the results showed that f value of mean scores in depression and hope post-tests of the experimental and control groups are 24.94 and 25.73, respectively, which are signifi...

AIM Amphetamine and its derivates can induce, usually after many intoxications, schizophrenia-like psychosis. These disorders appeared only in part patients with amphetamine dependence. Aim of the study was to establish prevalence of selective risk factors of schizophrenia development in amphetamine users: 1) with amphetamine-induced schizophrenia-like psychosis, 2) with schizophrenia, and 2) w...
