amphetamine and Weight Loss

amphetamine has been researched along with Weight Loss in 14 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: A primary amine that is isopropylamine in which a hydrogen attached to one of the methyl groups has been replaced by a phenyl group.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 Loss: Decrease in existing BODY WEIGHT.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Weight loss is known to alter food intake and drug self-administration, but the neural basis of this is unknown."5.29Restricted eating with weight loss selectively decreases extracellular dopamine in the nucleus accumbens and alters dopamine response to amphetamine, morphine, and food intake. ( Creese, I; Hoebel, BG; Pothos, EN, 1995)
" 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)
"Weight loss is known to alter food intake and drug self-administration, but the neural basis of this is unknown."1.29Restricted eating with weight loss selectively decreases extracellular dopamine in the nucleus accumbens and alters dopamine response to amphetamine, morphine, and food intake.
