inositol + d2

Posted by linkadge on December 2, 2006, at 10:23:44

I remember reading somewhere that inositol increases the sensitivity of the d2 receptors. Could this make a d2 agonist more effective.

Has anyone else read this / know where the study is?

Generally

Short term yes but...

the problem with any receptor exposed to agonists is the problem with down-regulation of receptors (desensitisation).
This process may vary between individuals. That is probably why some become addicts and others don't. This is also why so many drugs poop out.

This is the end of the thread.
