Abstract
Since the identification of CART peptides in the 1990s [1], evidence has been steadily accumulating that they are involved in a great variety of physiologic processes. These include feeding and body weight, depression and anxiety, stress, hormonal control, psychostimulant (PS) action [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8], and others. With regard to PS action, CART peptides appear to regulate the action of cocaine, amphetamine, and dopamine.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Drug and Alcohol Research (JDAR) is a scholarly open access, peer-reviewed, and fully refereed journal dedicated to publishing sound papers on advances in the field of drug, opiate, nicotine and alcohol abuse, both basic and clinical. The journal will consider papers from all sub-disciplines and aspects of drug abuse, dependence and addiction research. Manuscripts will be published online as soon as they are accepted, which will reduce the time of publication. Because there are no space limitations or favored topics, all papers, within the scope of the journal, judged to be sound by the reviewers, will be published.
