In Vivo and in Vitro Chromosomal Damage Induced by LSD-25

New England Journal of Medicine November 16, 1967 Maimon M. Cohen, Kurt Hirschhorn, William A. Frosch 150 citations

Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25) can cause chromosomal abnormalities in human leukocytes, as shown by in vitro and in vivo studies. This report extends earlier observations with additional in vitro findings and a larger sample of patients. The study examined peripheral leukocyte cultures from six healthy individuals to assess chromosomal aberrations induced by LSD.
