We demonstrated that the gene of glutathione peroxidase-1 (GPx-1), a major antioxidant enzyme, is a potential protectant against the neurotoxicity and conditioned place preference induced by cocaine. Because the sigma (σ)-1 receptor is implicated in cocaine-induced drug dependence, we investigated whether the GPx-1 gene modulates the σ-1 receptor in the behavioral sensitization induced by cocaine. Cocaine-induced behavioral sensitization was more pronounced in GPx-1 knockout (KO) than wild-type (WT) mice and was less pronounced in GPx
