Combined administration of the amphetamine analogs phentermine and fenfluramine (PHEN/FEN) has been used in the treatment of obesity. While these medications are thought to modulate monoamine transmission, the precise neurochemical effects of the PHEN/FEN mixture have not been extensively studied. T
The technique of in vivo microdialysis was used to measure the extracellular levels of dopamine in the nucleus accumbens septi and medial prefrontal cortex of chloral-hydrate-anaesthetized rats following systemic administration of cocaine and amphetamine.
