虽然有大量关于动物模型中阿拉伯茶急性和慢性剂量影响的研究,但关于阿拉伯茶对人类受试者的行为和认知影响的研究并不广泛,而且一些现有研究仅在观察性和单例研究的背景下进行。鉴于缺乏与阿拉伯茶使用相关的神经行为缺陷的大量文献,并提供一个可用于确定未来研究主题的背景,我们回顾了以前关注其他兴奋剂药物的研究。这篇综述强调了在之前对长期使用兴奋剂(如安非他明和甲基苯丙胺)的个体的研究中发现的神经认知缺陷的多个领域。该综述强调了大量的证据表明,广泛的学习和记忆障碍,包括在停止积极使用药物期间持续存在的缺陷。这篇综述并不意味着类似的阿拉伯茶效应,但由于阿拉伯茶的活性成分(卡西酮和卡西酮)和安非他明之间的药理学相似性,未来的研究在慢性阿拉伯茶使用者和戒断阿拉伯茶使用者中检查这些相同的认知功能领域似乎是有必要的,如果可能的话,使用一些相同或类似的实验室测量方法。
Although there is a rich body of research available regarding the effect of acute and chronic khat dosing in animal models, research on the behavioral and cognitive effects of khat in human subjects is not extensive and several of the available studies have been done only in the context of observational and single-case studies. In light of the absence of a substantial literature on the neurobehavioral deficits associated with khat use and to provide a context that could be used to identify themes for future research we review previous research that has focused on other stimulant drugs. This review highlights multiple areas of neurocognitive deficit that have been identified in previous studies of individuals who have been chronic users of stimulants, such as amphetamines and methamphetamines. The review highlights a substantial body of evidence demonstrating a wide range of learning and memory impairments including deficits that persist during abstinence from active drug use. This review does not imply a similar khat effect, but due to some similarities pharmacologically between the active components of khat (cathinone and cathine) and amphetamines, future studies examining these same domains of cognitive functioning in chronic khat users and abstinent khat users appears to be warranted, if possible using some of the same or similar laboratory measures.
