- A Role for GABAA Receptor β3 Subunits in Mediating Harmaline Tremor Suppression by Alcohol: Implications for Essential Tremor Therapyby Adrian Handforth on April 29, 2024
BACKGROUND: Essential tremor patients may find that low alcohol amounts suppress tremor. A candidate mechanism is modulation of α6β3δ extra-synaptic GABA(A) receptors, that in vitro respond to non-intoxicating alcohol levels. We previously found that low-dose alcohol reduces harmaline tremor in wild-type mice, but not in littermates lacking δ or α6 subunits. Here we addressed whether low-dose alcohol requires the β3 subunit for tremor suppression.
- Metaphedrone (3-Methylmethcathinone): Pharmacological, Clinical, and Toxicological Profileby Igor Kelečević on March 28, 2024
Introduction: Synthetic cathinones are a group of novel psychoactive substances used as an alternative to classical recreational drugs. As a result of legal prohibitions on older generations of these compounds, new formulations appeared on the drug market. One of them is metaphedrone (3-methylmethcathinone, 3-MMC), a structural isomer of 4-methylmethcathinone and a psychostimulant drug. Metaphedrone became popular in a large number of countries in a short period of time. The aim: The collection,...
- Children Intoxicated with Psychoactive Substances: The Health Status on Admission to Hospital Based on Medical Recordsby Dorota Kosiorek on March 28, 2024
Introduction: Alcohol is the most common psychoactive substance among young people. The use of psychoactive substances gives rise to a number of health, social, moral and economic problems. The aim of the study was to characterise the symptoms reported by children and adolescents presenting with psychoactive substance intoxication on admission to hospital. Methods: The study included a group of 303 patients aged 0 to 18 years, diagnosed with psychoactive substance intoxication. This...
- Characterization Of The Neurochemical And Behavioral Effects Of The Phenethylamine 2-Cl-4,5-Mdma In Adolescent And Adult Male Ratsby Gessica Piras on March 28, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first pharmacological characterization of 2-Cl-4,5-MDMA demonstrating that its neurochemical and behavioral effects may differ between adolescence and adulthood. These preclinical data could help understanding the central effects of 2-Cl-4,5-MDMA, by increasing awareness on possible health damage in users.
