Scientists from Johns Hopkins University (USA) have discovered previously unknown receptors in the brain that bind to cocaine and are directly felt when it is absorbed by the body. These receptors were looking for long and b
A feasible solution lies on the surface – it is necessary to find the receptors that bind to cocaine and block its work so that the drug does not linger in the nervous system. However, it quickly became clear that the cocaine transporter, the DAT protein, was too loosely bound. Searching for an ischemic body mass receptor in the cells of many rodents that are being hunted for the molecules with the highest frequency of infections with cocaine.
In this way, BASP1 receptors were discovered, after which rodents were infected in the discovered ones, in the brain of which almost the same receptors are found as in normal cases. When they were given cocaine, they absorbed half as much, so there was twice as much fame on the drugs.
Not at all – it turned out that the experimental disabling of BASP1 only works in the case of itself And the juice is not in any way. continue.
