abstract：:Rat striatal synaptosomes showed a reduced capacity to generate a membrane potential after being exposed to methamphetamine (METH) for 1 h. As a consequence, the dopamine (DA) synaptosomes were impeded in their electrogenic-dependent reuptake of dopamine. The capacity for METH-exposed nerve terminals to generate a mem...
