The action of some ergot derivatives, mescaline and dibenamine on the metabolism of separated mammalian cerebral tissues
Biochemical Journal August 1, 1954 Joyce L. Lewis, H. Mcilwain 29 citations
In separated mammalian cerebral tissues, ergot derivatives, mescaline, and dibenamine each altered tissue metabolism. The substances affected the respiration and glycolysis of the tissues, with the specific effects depending on the compound and concentration used. The findings indicate that these agents can directly influence the metabolic activity of brain tissue.
