Meth and the Brain. Meth releases a surge of dopamine, causing an intense rush of pleasure or prolonged sense of euphoria. Over time, meth destroys dopamine receptors, making it impossible to feel pleasure.
CAUSES OF HIGH AMMONIA. Ammonia is a normal by-product of processing nitrogen in the body, and is excreted as waste in the urine, in healthy people. However, elevated blood ammonia levels can occur when the kidneys or liver are not working properly, allowing this waste to remain in the bloodstream, which can be poisonous to your cells.
Hyperammonemia is quite serious and may be the cause of quite a few complications like encephalopathy and sometimes may even cause death. Under normal circumstances a person has anywhere between 10-40 Âµmol/L of ammonia in the blood, but in cases of Hyperammonemia this is markedly increased resulting in numerous life threatening complications.
