The mechanisms involved in the long‐lasting neuroprotective effect of fluoxetine against MDMA ('ecstasy')‐induced degeneration of 5‐HT nerve endings in rat brain

Abstract

It has been reported that co‐administration of fluoxetine with 3, 4‐methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA,'ecstasy') prevents MDMA‐induced degeneration of 5‐HT nerve endings in rat brain. The mechanisms involved have now been investigated …
