Possible Interaction: Methamphetamine and Calcium Supplement

“The toxic effects of Tat and METH were inhibited by blocking mitochondrial uptake of intracellular calcium , whereas blocking calcium flux in the endoplasmic reticulum or from the extracellular environment had no effect on Tat and METH toxicity.”

“Moreover, available evidence suggests that oxalate and/or calcium oxalate crystals can damage renal epithelial cells and enhance crystal binding.”

“As Meth induces behavioral responses and neurotoxicity through Ca++i , modulation of Ca++i may be useful to reduce Meth‐related reactions.”

“Both Meth and Glu induced a rapid increase in Ca++i , which was blocked by MK801, suggesting that Meth enhanced Ca++i through Glu receptor in neurons.”

“These data suggest that Meth enhanced Ca++ influx through membrane Ca++ channels, which then triggered the release of Ca++ from the endoplasmic reticulum in the cytosol.”

“Excess calcium species in the solution could selectively adsorb on surfaces, resulting in an inhibitive effect on the growth of specific crystal faces , (1 0 4)calcite and (2 1 1[combining macron])calcite in this case.”

“The accuracy of the model at room temperature and atmospheric pressure was checked against crystal structural data, yielding maximum deviations of ca.”

“A rough estimate of the added capacity Ca in paral­ lel with the crystal is ε0πD/4h.”
