In vitro d-amphetamine action on oxido-reductase activity of several rat nervous centres

Acta Histochem. 1984;74(1):85-90. doi: 10.1016/S0065-1281(84)80033-1.

Abstract

The action of several concentrations of d-amphetamine on the NADH-tetrazolium reductase histochemical reaction has been studied in several nervous regions of rats. The facts observed have demonstrated that d-amphetamine increases the intensity of the histochemical reaction by its action on NADH-oxido-reductase activity in all nervous regions studied.
