Genetic Association Analysis of NOS1 and Methamphetamine-Induced Psychosis Among Japanese
The neuronal nitric oxide synthase gene (NOS1) is located at 12q24, a susceptibility region for schizophrenia, and produces nitric oxide (NO). NO has been reported to play important roles as a gaseous neurotransmitter in brain. NO is a second messenger for the N-methyl-D aspartate (NMDA) receptor and is related to the dopaminergic system. Because the symptomatology of methamphetamine (METH) use...
متن کاملGenetic Association Analysis of NOS3 and Methamphetamine-Induced Psychosis Among Japanese
Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) is one of the enzymes influencing nitric oxide (NO) function in the human brain. NO is a gaseous neurotransmitter that is involved in a variety of mechanisms in the central nervous system, such as N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor activation and oxidative stress. The evidence from animal pharmacological studies and postmortem studies supports an association ...
متن کاملNo Association Between GRM3 and Japanese Methamphetamine-Induced Psychosis
UNLABELLED Several investigations have suggested that abnormalities in glutamate neural transmission play a role in the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia. The metabotropic glutamate 3 receptor (mGluR3) gene was reported to be associated with schizophrenia, and paranoid type schizophrenia has symptoms that are similar to those of methamphetamine-induced psychosis....
متن کاملThe neurobiology of methamphetamine induced psychosis
Chronic methamphetamine abuse commonly leads to psychosis, with positive and cognitive symptoms that are similar to those of schizophrenia. Methamphetamine induced psychosis (MAP) can persist and diagnoses of MAP often change to a diagnosis of schizophrenia over time. Studies in schizophrenia have found much evidence of cortical GABAergic dysfunction. Methamphetamine psychosis is a well studied...
متن کاملTreating Methamphetamine-Induced Resistant Psychosis with Clozapine
Background. Methamphetamine-induced psychosis (MIP) in Iran has turned into a serious issue in terms of health and treatment, lacking any obvious treatment methods for its resistant cases. Aims of Case Report. In the present study, a number of two cases of treatment of MIP with clozapine, which were resistant to the treatment with other antipsychotics, have been reported. Both cases completely ...
