Methamphetamine persistently increases alpha-synuclein and suppresses gene promoter methylation within striatal neurons
28 May 2019
Abstract excerpt
Methamphetamine (Meth) produces a variety of epigenetic effects in the brain, which are seminal to establish long-lasting alterations in neuronal activity. However, most epigenetic changes were described by measuring the rough amount of either histone acetylation and methylation or direct DNA methylation, without focusing on a specific DNA sequence. This point is key to comprehend Meth-induced phenotypic changes,...
