Hertz Car Rental has dominated the car rental market for decades. It recently added a new service based on the services introduced and pioneered by a competitor: the Zipcar company.

Ecstasy (MDMA) is a popular drug that produces significant adverse effects, including neurotoxicity. The mechanisms underlying MDMA-induced neurotoxicity have been suggested to be due to the genetic variability in how well the drug is metabolized in the liver. Accordingly, loss of function cytochrome P450 (CYP2D6) alleles contribute to elevated serum levels of MDMA. Locally, MDMA probably increases the release of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, the sustained exposure of nerve endings to these catecholamines, and in the presence of the met/met variant of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) could contribute to the accumulation of catechol reactive oxygen species. Whether this represents the mechanism for MDMA-induced neurotoxicity will have to await the findings of future research studies.
