“…METH (under the street names ice, crystal, glass, or kryptonite) is a potent synthetic central nervous system (CNS) drug that has been placed second in rank of application in the United States, Asia, and Oceania after cannabis [85,86]. METH is often sold in powder or crystal form and is administered via intranasal sniffing, oral ingestion, pulmonary inhalation, and injection.…”
Section: Tryptophan and Addiction: Meth Addiction As An Examplementioning
Addiction, the continuous misuse of addictive material, causes long-term dysfunction in the neurological system. It substantially affects the control strength of reward, memory, and motivation. Addictive substances (alcohol, marijuana, caffeine, heroin, methamphetamine (METH), and nicotine) are highly active central nervous stimulants. Addiction leads to severe health issues, including cardiovascular diseases, serious infections, and pulmonary/dental diseases. Drug dependence may result in unfavorable cognitive impairments that can continue during abstinence and negatively influence recovery performance. Although addiction is a critical global health challenge with numerous consequences and complications, currently, there are no efficient options for treating drug addiction, particularly METH. Currently, novel treatment approaches such as psychological contingency management, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational enhancement strategies are of great interest. Herein, we evaluate the devastating impacts of different addictive substances/drugs on users′ mental health and the role of tryptophan in alleviating unfavorable side effects. The tryptophan metabolites in the mammalian brain and their potential to treat compulsive abuse of addictive substances are investigated by assessing the functional effects of addictive substances on tryptophan. Future perspectives on developing promising modalities to treat addiction and the role of tryptophan and its metabolites to alleviate drug dependency are discussed.
“…The utilization of agricultural wastes for the development of biosorbents and adsorbents presents a promising approach to addressing environmental challenges. The process of biosorption or adsorption offers several advantages, including its simple, minimal carbon footprint, low equipment cost, and the utilization of cost‐effective adsorbents during operation (Azmi et al, 2018; Khunt et al, 2019). In the biosorption/adsorption process, the transfer of dye molecules from wastewater to a solid phase occurs, enabling subsequent regeneration of the solid phase for subsequent applications (Yagub et al, 2014).…”
Section: Current Utilization Of Marang Fruit Wastesmentioning
Marang fruit is commonly found and available in various Southeast Asian regions, notably in countries such as Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia. Marang fruit waste, despite its promising potential, remains underutilized in various applications. This review article explores the potential of Marang fruit waste as a valuable resource for various applications, with a focus on its utilization in the food industry, including seed flour, starch, snacks, and essential bioactive compounds. Beyond the food sector, the article also investigates its applications as biosorbents/adsorbents and an energy source. The study identifies promising research opportunities such as investigating its potential as a fuel source, as well as for the production of cellulose and nanocellulose which is now gaining relevant attention in various industries. However, the seasonal availability of Marang fruit and its limited distribution in specific Southeast Asian regions present challenges. This article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current status, highlight the areas that require further investigation, and future prospects of Marang fruit waste, highlighting its significance as a sustainable resource with multifaceted applications.
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.
