Methamphetamine Blocks Adenosine A<sub>2A</sub> Receptor Activation via Sigma 1 and Cannabinoid CB<sub>1</sub> Receptors
Methamphetamine is, worldwide, one of the most consumed drugs of abuse. One important side effect is neurodegeneration leading to a decrease in life expectancy. The aim of this paper was to check whether the drug affects one of the receptors involved in neurodegeneration/neuroprotection events, name...
