A recent study found new information that scientists believe might be the cause behind morphine addiction. “Scientists are adding additional brush strokes to the revolutionary new image now emerging for star-shaped cells called astrocytes in the brain and spinal cord. Their report, which suggests a key role for astrocytes in morphine's ability to relieve pain and cause addiction, appears online in ACS' Journal of Proteome Research, a monthly publication.”
Scientists added morphine to a group of astrocytes, where the cells were grown under controlled conditions for several days. The study found the cells exposed to morphine increased nine proteins that have shown to play a strong role in supporting normal function of nerve cells.
After studying the function of the proteins in more detail they found a potential link of drug addiction. Do you have an addiction to morphine and need help to quit. Contact us now. You don’t have to do this alone. We are here to help you find a healthy, drug-free life.
