title: Effect of 7-nitroindazole on drug-priming reinstatement of D-methamphetamine-induced conditioned place preference.
abstract: The study investigated the role of nitric oxide (NO) in the relapse to drug-seeking behavior induced by D-methamphetamine. After the induction of D-methamphetamine (1 mg/kg) conditioned place preference, the rewarding effect became extinct 6 weeks later. The extinguished place preference was reinstated by D-methamphetamine (0.125 mg/kg) injection, an effect which was attenuated by 7-nitroindazole (12.5 and 25 mg/kg) pretreatment. The results demonstrate that NO is involved in relapse primed by D-methamphetamine injection.
