Peripheral blood RNA gene expression profiling in illicit methcathinone users reveals effect on immune system
Methcathinone (ephedrone) is relatively easily accessible for abuse.Its users develop an extrapyramidal syndrome and it is not known if this is caused by methcathinone itself, by side-ingredients (manganese), or both.In the present study we aimed to clarify molecular mechanisms underlying this condition.We analyzed whole genome gene expression patt
