Behavioural and biochemical effects of tryptophan, tyrosine and phenylalanine in mice.

abstract：RATIONALE:Preclinical evidence suggests that non-cannabinoid neurotransmitter systems are involved in the behavioral and physiological effects of cannabinoids, but relatively little research has been conducted in humans. OBJECTIVES:The aims of this study were to assess whether oral Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta...
