Question by I have an answer !: Why do some men/women live in denial about their “depression or addictions”??
Do they have to “hit rock bottom” to realize and accept their “desease” ? Do they have to “lose their family and friends” in order to realize, it’s time to get some professional help ? A dear friend of mine is going through this “depression and alcoholism” stage right now, (it’s been actually a while) and I have no idea how to help anymore ! She is a grown woman for crying out loud ! What else can I do ? I suggested to go with her to the AA meetings, called even “rehab centers” but the response I get is the same: “She is the only one who can admitt to her problem and do something about it!”

The effect of P-Glycoprotein on methadone hydrochloride flux in equine intestinal mucosa.

Linardi, R. L., Stokes, A. M., Andrews, F. M. The effect of P-Glycoprotein on methadone hydrochloride flux in equine intestinal mucosa. J. vet. Pharmacol. Therap. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2885.2012.01390.x. Methadone is an effective analgesic opioid that may have a place for the treatment of pain in horses. However, its absorption seems to be impaired by the presence of a transmembrane protein, P-glycoprotein, present in different tissues including the small intestine in other species. This study aims to determine the effect of the P-glycoprotein on methadone flux in the equine intestinal mucosa, as an indicator of in vivo drug absorption. Jejunum tissues from five horses were placed into the Ussing chambers and exposed to methadone solution in the presence or absence of Rhodamine 123 or verapamil. Electrical measurements demonstrated tissue viability for 120?min, and the flux of methadone across the jejunal membrane (mucosal to submucosal direction) was calculated based on the relative drug concentration measured by ELISA. The flux of methadone was significantly higher only in the presence of verapamil. P-glycoprotein was immunolocalized in the apical membrane of the jejunal epithelial cells (enterocytes), mainly located in the tip of the villi compared to cells of the crypts. P-glycoprotein is present in the equine jejunum and may possibly mediate the intestinal transport of methadone. This study suggests that P-glycoprotein may play a role in the poor intestinal absorption of methadone in vivo.
