Research Abstract |
We investigated the detailed and new common mechanisms underling the accentuation of L-type high voltage-gated calcium channels function in establishment of psychological and physical dependence. Phosphorylation of heat shock factor and following increase in heat shock proteins 70 (HSP70) were observed in sustained ethanol-treated neuronal cells. In addition, intracellular ferrous iron concentrations were also significant increased after long-term exposure of ethanol. These results suggest the possibility that increase in intracellular HSP70 expressions and ferrous iron concentrations are new target for mechanism of drug dependence.
