Similarly, food choices affect blood acidity. Somebody eating an extreme diet might be more susceptible to circulatory acidosis than somebody eating a mixed diet. Since rats and mice tolerate this acidification effect at a ten-times greater magnitude, it is not likely to be a problem in normal, healthy people. However, it is a general rule that the average lab rat eats a more nutritious diet than the average person. So, this could be a problem in some people.
Excess dopamine is compulsive.
It can make people obsess. It magnifies our response to stimulation. It is not unreasonable to suggest that rebound dopamine might have been responsible for the increased fighting among male mice in the above study. There may be even longer-term adaptations to dopamine suppression that might occur if dopamine is suppressed for days or weeks at a time. Upregulation of dopamine receptors is one possibility.
