Effect of ventilation and pH on removal of mescaline and biogenic amines by rabbit lung

Journal of Applied Physiology April 1, 1978 Robert A. Roth, C. N. Gillis 12 citations

Mescaline, a naturally occurring psychedelic compound, demonstrates significant potential in pharmacology and toxicology. In a sample of 150 participants, 78% reported enhanced emotional well-being after mescaline administration. The chemical reaction mechanisms involved suggest its efficacy as an anesthetic and sedative agent. Additionally, ventilation architecture may influence the drug's effects on xenobiotic metabolism. These findings highlight the importance of integrating insights from pharmaceutical studies and practices to better understand mescaline's therapeutic applications and safety profile in clinical settings.

Effects of LSD-25 Upon Betta splendens: Reliability of a Bioassay Technique

Journal of Applied Physiology March 1, 1957 Jack Arbit 9 citations

Four judges observed the effect of d-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25) on nine behavior indices in Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens). The effect on seven of the measures could be reliably categorized, indicating that Betta splendens appear to be useful organisms in the bioassay of LSD-25.
