Possible Interaction: Catechin and Heroin

“There is an increasing body of evidence that heroin addiction is associated with severe alterations in immune function, which might contribute to an increased risk to contract infectious diseases like hepatitis B and C or HIV.”

“Peak VO2 values under H were significantly lower than those under N during both C and A (p less than 0.01).”

“When C was combined with H , both systolic and diastolic BP decreased more than with either C or H alone, reaching a nadir at 2 hr.”

“The degree of gca and maternal effects can be ranked as C > H > B > Y. Crossing between C and H had greater sca than other combinations at all ages studied, whereas B x Y had the smallest.”

“H168/68 and C both inhibited H (5 X 10(-5) M)-stimulated [14C]AP accumulation in a concentration-dependent manner (P less than 0.05).”

“For the blue-shifted C-H...O hydrogen bond, the considerable nucleus-nucleus repulsion between H and O atoms caused by the strong electrostatic attraction between C and O atoms is a possible reason for the C-H bond contraction and its blue shift.”

“… H …. C was significantly less (overall, p < 0.0001): 58% of H were discharged within 10 days vs. 6% of C; 82% of H were out … out in 30 days; and while 100% of H were discharged by day 40, 56% of C required up to another 10 days.”

“… H … C , resulting in stronger density fluctuations of H. This fact, in combination with the seasonal course of the b/m-ratio produces a marked seasonal … are much higher in the warm season than in the cold season, but births dominate in the cold, deaths in the warm season.”
