摘要
Methamphetamine is a commonly abused drug by humans. Repeated administration of methamphetamine caused long-term changes in caudate dopamine levels in the rat and guinea-pig. Methamphetamine was administered twice a day for 30 days. Two wk following the last injection, the animals were killed and brains assayed for catecholamine content. These long-term depletions of dopamine, when combined with similar observations previously reported in rhesus monkeys, indicate a species generality of the effects of methamphetamine on caudate dopamine levels.
