Calcitriol Protects against the Dopamine‐ and Serotonin‐Depleting Effects of Neurotoxic Doses of Methamphetamine
- W. Cass, M. Smith, L. Peters
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences
- 1 August 2006
Abstract: Repeated methamphetamine (METH) administration to animals can result in long‐lasting decreases in brain dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5‐HT) content. Calcitriol, the active metabolite of… Expand
HIV-1 protein Tat potentiation of methamphetamine-induced decreases in evoked overflow of dopamine in the striatum of the rat

Neurturin Effects on Nigrostriatal Dopamine Release and Content: Comparison with GDNF
Neurturin (NTN) is a member of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family; and, while GDNF has been shown to increase dopamine (DA) release in normal animals, the ability of NTN to… Expand
Calcitriol Promotes Augmented Dopamine Release in the Lesioned Striatum of 6-Hydroxydopamine Treated Rats

Current therapies for Parkinson’s disease (PD) offer symptomatic relief but do not provide a cure or slow the disease process. Treatments that could halt progression of the disease or help restore… Expand
Protection by GDNF and Other Trophic Factors Against the Dopamine‐Depleting Effects of Neurotoxic Doses of Methamphetamine

- Chemistry, Medicine
- Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences
- 1 August 2006
Abstract: Repeated methamphetamine (METH) administration to animals can result in long‐lasting decreases in striatal dopamine (DA) content. It has previously been shown that glial cell line‐derived… Expand

Calcitriol, the active metabolite of vitamin D, has been shown to have significant effects on the brain. These actions include reducing the severity of some central nervous system lesions, possibly… Expand
Reductions in spontaneous locomotor activity in aged male, but not female, rats in a model of early Parkinson's disease
The excessive loss of dopamine (DA) neurons that occurs with Parkinson's disease is usually confined to older individuals. While 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is often used in animal models of DA neuron… Expand
Lymphocyte subset analysis by Boolean algebra: a phenotypic approach using a cocktail of 5 antibodies and 3 color immunofluorescence.
