The UA Campus Repository is experiencing systematic automated, high-volume traffic (bots). Temporary mitigation measures to address bot traffic have been put in place; however, this has resulted in restrictions on searching WITHIN collections or using sidebar filters WITHIN collections. You can still Browse by Title/Author/Year WITHIN collections. Also, you can still search at the top level of the repository (use the search box at the top of every page) and apply filters from that search level. Export of search results has also been restricted at this time. Please contact us at any time for assistance - email repository@u.library.arizona.edu.

| dc.description.abstract | Factors affecting the deposition of cocaine into hair and the relationships between those concentrations, survey questionnaire results and natural killer cell activities were investigated. First, two and 18 month old mice were infected with LP-BM5, injected with cocaine, and hair cocaine content measured. There was no difference in cocaine concentration between the age groups. Retrovirally infection mice had greater amounts of cocaine in their hair. Next, a group of mice were fed an ethanol diet and injected with cocaine. There was a decrease in cocaine recovered in the hair of the ethanol-fed mice. In a group of human drug users no correlation was found between survey questionnaire answers and hair cocaine concentrations. There was a correlation between natural killer cell activity and hair cocaine concentrations. It was concluded that hair analysis for cocaine may have a place in clinical settings, but a predictive correlation between drug intake and hair concentration may not be possible. | |
