Change of Cystine/Glutamate Antiporter Expression in Ethanol-Dependent Rats

Change of Cystine/Glutamate Antiporter Expression in Ethanol-Dependent Rats

Background: Some drugs of abuse down regulate the expression of cystine/glutamate (xCT) antiporter in the nucleus accumbens (Acb) after extinction or withdrawal. The altered level of xCT exchanger in Acb, a structure involved in ethanol reinforcement, may contribute to the pathological glutamatergic...
