[QUOTE="johndoesmith, post: 57556, member: 13404"] From my understanding that dopamine plays a huge role in libido, for example any D2/D3 agonists like parkinson's drugs are known to possibly cause hypersexuality. Amphetamines especially AFAIK, is it possible that long term medical use of amphetamines can cause enough downregulation to permanently stunt libido? My understanding is that the dopamine system is fairly robust, and recovers easily? Random pharmacologic question: wikipedia lists dopamine receptors as functioning through gene transcription, as does the androgen receptor, yet dopamine ligands will elicit a noticable effect nearly immediately while testosterone does not. So I'm probably massively misunderstanding this complex process of gene regulation, but why does testosterone not? [/QUOTE]
