EXPLORING THE PROGRESSION OF DRUG DEPENDENCE IN A METHAMPHETAMINE SELF-ADMINISTRATION RAT MODEL THROUGH TARGETED AND NON-TARGETED METABOLOMICS ANALYSES

Exploring the progression of drug dependence in a methamphetamine self-administration rat model through targeted and non-targeted metabolomics analyses

Abstract Persistent neurochemical and biological disturbances resulting from repeated cycles of drug reward, withdrawal, and relapse contribute to drug dependence.Methamphetamine (MA) is a psychostimulant with substantial abuse potential and neurotoxic effects, primarily affecting monoamine neurotransmitter systems in the brain.In this study, we ai
