Journal ArticleDOI

Methamphetamine toxicity and messengers of death

TL;DR: The accumulated evidence indicates that multiple events converge to mediate METH-induced terminal degeneration and neuronal apoptosis, and suggest that pharmacological strategies geared towards the prevention and treatment of the deleterious effects of this drug will need to attack the various pathways that form the substrates of METH toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurotoxicity of substituted amphetamines: molecular and cellular mechanisms.

TL;DR: The toxic effects of AMPH, METH and MDMA are summarized and some of the factors that are thought to underlie this toxicity are presented, which include oxidative stress, hyperthermia, excitotoxicity and various apoptotic pathways.
Book ChapterDOI

Molecular Bases of Methamphetamine-Induced Neurodegeneration

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review cellular and molecular mechanisms that might be responsible for METH neurotoxicity, including oxidative stress, activation of transcription factors, DNA damage, excitotoxicity, blood-brain barrier breakdown, microglial activation, and various apoptotic pathways.
