We have assessed the characteristics of oxygen transport following chronic intraperitoneal administration of sodium cyanate (NaCNO, 90 mg/kg; P50 decreased), o-iodosodium benzoate (OISB, 300 mg/kg; P50 increased), or sodium chloride (NaCl; P50 unchanged) to rats at a rate of 5 times/wk for 16 wk. At the end of this period, the animals were exposed to a low inspired O2 concentration and were subjected to exercise stress. Hill's n50 at pH 6.90-7.60, hematocrit, and the saturation dependency of the Bohr effect (PCO2 constant) were altered by NaCNO only. Cyanate-treated rats gained less weight, probably due to a toxic side effect of the drug. Hypoxemia-induced lactatemia was greatest with a high P50 (OISB). Physical effort (swimming) was tolerated poorly at normal arterial PO2 when P50 was low (NaCNO). Although a left-shifted curve appears beneficial when FIO2 is reduced, reasons for the physiological advantage may be the result of other characteristics of the O2 dissociation curve, not P50 alone.

Acute intoxication with cholinesterase inhibiting organophosphates (OP) can produce life-threatening cholinergic crisis and status epilepticus (SE). Survivors often develop long-term neurological consequences, including spontaneous recurrent seizures (SRS) and impaired cognition. Numerous studies implicate OP-induced neuroinflammation as a pathogenic mechanism contributing to these chronic sequelae; however, little is known about the inflammatory phenotype of innate immune cells in the brain following acute OP intoxication.

MDMA is a promising adjunct to psychotherapy and has well-known abuse liability, although less than other amphetamine analogs. While the reinforcing dopamine (DA)-releasing properties of MDMA are on par with methamphetamine (METH), MDMA is a far more potent serotonin (5-HT) releaser, via the 5-HT transporter (SERT). MDMA-mediated 5-HT release in a major reward center, the nucleus accumbens (NAc), drives prosocial behaviors via 5-HTR activation.

Combined use of fentanyl and methamphetamine (FENT + METH) has increased in recent years and has been documented in a growing number overdose deaths each year. The impact of FENT + METH on behavior and neurobiology is not well understood. In this study, male and female Long Evans rats were tested on a limited access, fixed ratio 1 self-administration schedule for increasing doses (1.

Rationale: Adolescent cannabis use is linked to later-life changes in cognition, learning, and memory. Rodent experimental studies suggest Δ-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) influences development of circuits underlying these processes, especially in the prefrontal cortex, which matures during adolescence.
Objective: We determined how 14 daily THC injections (5 mg/kg) during adolescence persistently impacts medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) dopamine-dependent cognition.
