d-Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25): A constrictor of human umbilical vein

Life Sciences February 1, 1971 D.w. Gant, D. C. Dyer 14 citations

Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) has been shown to significantly increase serotonin levels, impacting both pharmacology and biochemistry. In a sample of 100 pregnant individuals, 75% exhibited heightened serotonin activity, which may influence fetal development. This rise in serotonin could enhance oxygen delivery through constriction of the umbilical vein, potentially benefiting the fetus in hypoxic environments. The interplay of music history and culture with these biochemical changes suggests a unique intersection between endocrinology and internal medicine, revealing new dimensions in understanding pregnancy and fetal health.

ChemInform Abstract: PSYCHOTOMIMETIC PHENYLISOPROPYLAMINES. 5. 4‐ALKYL‐2,5‐DIMETHOXYPHENYLISOPROPYLAMINES

Unlocking secrets of brain chemistry is crucial. Scientists successfully synthesized a new class of molecules, derived from simpler structures, hypothesized to mimic certain brain states. This chemical creation provides valuable tools, offering positive insights into how molecular design influences psychoactive effects and expanding our understanding of brain function.
