amphetamine and Weight Gain

amphetamine has been researched along with Weight Gain in 18 studies

Amphetamine: A powerful central nervous system stimulant and sympathomimetic. Amphetamine has multiple mechanisms of action including blocking uptake of adrenergics and dopamine, stimulation of release of monamines, and inhibiting monoamine oxidase. Amphetamine is also a drug of abuse and a psychotomimetic. The l- and the d,l-forms are included here. The l-form has less central nervous system activity but stronger cardiovascular effects. The d-form is DEXTROAMPHETAMINE.
1-phenylpropan-2-amine : A primary amine that is isopropylamine in which a hydrogen attached to one of the methyl groups has been replaced by a phenyl group.
amphetamine : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of (R)-amphetamine (also known as levamphetamine or levoamphetamine) and (S)-amphetamine (also known as dexamfetamine or dextroamphetamine.

Weight Gain: Increase in BODY WEIGHT over existing weight.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" In this study, we assessed the effects of exercise on food intake and weight gain of these mice as well as their sensitivity to the stimulant effects of amphetamine."3.80Differential sensitivity of Pak5, Pak6, and Pak5/Pak6 double-knockout mice to the stimulant effects of amphetamine and exercise-induced alterations in body weight. ( Furnari, MA; Jobes, ML; Minden, A; Nekrasova, T; Wagner, GC, 2014)
" Furthermore, the presence or absence of maternal weight loss predicted MK-801 and amphetamine stimulated locomotor abnormalities in offspring."3.77Individual differences in maternal response to immune challenge predict offspring behavior: contribution of environmental factors. ( Ahlbrand, R; Bronson, SL; Horn, PS; Kern, JR; Richtand, NM, 2011)
" Yet, analysis of the body weight gain and volumetric determinations of brain areas have not been performed by comparing the effects of neonatal exposure to cocaine and amphetamine."3.68Body weight gain and hippocampal volumes of rats exposed neonatally to psychostimulants. ( Silva, MC; Tavares, MA, 1993)
" In addition, the side-effect profile was established by measuring catalepsy, antipsychotic-induced weight gain, plasma levels of prolactin, and anxiogenic potential."1.37AVE1625, a cannabinoid CB1 receptor antagonist, as a co-treatment with antipsychotics for schizophrenia: improvement in cognitive function and reduction of antipsychotic-side effects in rodents. ( Arad, M; Barak, S; Black, MD; Borowsky, B; Cohen, C; De Levie, A; Featherstone, RE; Giardino, O; Griebel, G; Pichat, P; Rogacki, N; Senyah, Y; Stemmelin, J; Stevens, RJ; Varty, GB; Weiner, I, 2011)
"Weight gain is one side effect of many antipsychotic drugs (APDs)."1.31Differential activation of orexin neurons by antipsychotic drugs associated with weight gain. ( Bubser, M; Deutch, AY; Fadel, J, 2002)
