The number of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy or MDMA) animal research articles is rapidly increasing and yet studies which place emphasis on the clinical significance are limited due to a… (More)
D- and L-amphetamine sulphate isomers, methylphenidate and atomoxetine, are effective treatments for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This study provides a detailed comparison of… (More)
The pharmacology of several commonly described 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)(2C) receptor agonists was investigated in vivo and in vitro at rat 5-HT(2A), 5-HT(2B), and 5-HT(2C) receptors. The 5-HT(2C)… (More)
Rationale. The 5-HT2C receptor subtype has been implicated extensively in the regulation of ingestive behaviour. Objective. To assess whether chronic administration of the preferential 5-HT2C… (More)
The d- and l-amphetamine sulphate isomers are used in the formulation of Adderall XR®, which is effective in the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The effects of these… (More)

Administration of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) or 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) to rats produces serotonergic nerve terminal degeneration. However, they are not neurotoxic when… (More)
Methylphenidate (Ritalin) is a selective dopamine reuptake inhibitor and an effective treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) however the anatomical foci and neuronal circuits… (More)
3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) administration produces neurotoxic degeneration of serotonin terminals in rat brain. These effects occur only after systemic administration and not after… (More)
Guanfacine (an alpha-2A adrenoreceptor agonist) is a drug of benefit in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (Taylor FB, Russo J, J Clin Psychopharmacol 21:223–228, 2001).… (More)
