An audit of the effectiveness of amphetamine isomer ratios as a marker of Dexedrine compliance in amphetamine abusers.

abstract：:Alcoholism is a chronic relapsing disorder, and stress is a key precipitant of relapse. The nucleus incertus (NI) is highly responsive to corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) and psychological stressors, receives a CRF innervation and expresses CRF1 and CRF2 receptor mRNA. Furthermore, the ascending NI relaxin-3 syst...
