In recent years, an increasing number of studies have used metabolomics techniques to uncover the underlying mechanisms of diseases, including substance abuse. Although physical exercise has been considered as a potential treatment for methamphetamine (MA) abuse, there is still a lack of studies regarding exercise modulating the metabolic profile of the brain following MA use. This untargeted metabolomics study, based on liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), investigated the effects of aerobic exercise on MA-induced metabolism in mice brain. We found that 2 weeks of treadmill training modulates MA-induced metabolic disturbances in the brain. Among these metabolites, 129 metabolites with significant differences were identified under MA induction, and 32 metabolites were significantly affected by exercise. The relevant differential metabolites were mainly enriched in glycerophospholipid metabolism, steroid hormone biosynthesis and degradation, and renin-angiotensin system pathways. To our knowledge, this is the first study to use LC-MS approach to explore the effects of aerobic exercise on MA-induced metabolic profiles in the brain. The findings of this study provide new insights into exercise therapy for MA use.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
