## Abstract We examined mRNA expression of preproenkephalin (PPE), a precursor of the endogenous opioid peptide enkephalin, and ligand binding to opioid and dopamine receptors in the striatum and nucleus accumbens in methamphetamine (METH)‐sensitized μ‐opioid receptor (μ‐OR) knockout mice and their
