Document Summary
A: genetic differences can alter the rate of a drugs metabolism, depending on the drug that is taken (e. g. amphetamines, cocaine, heroine, morphine, etc. ). This means that genetic differences in metabolic enzymes p450 can lead to quicker metabolism of a psychostimulant drug, shortening the duration of a drugs effect. This leads to enhanced negative subjective effects (e. g. noxious, paranoid, agitation) usually the symptoms you would suffer from when having a hangover: modafinil: elevates da levels in the nu. Adverse effects: cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, tooth decay and abnormal fetal development. Brain regions associated with reinforcing effects: da concentrations in nu.
