RNA synthesis in isolated brian nuclei after administration of d-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) in vivo.
نویسنده
چکیده
RNA synthesis in isolated brain nuclei was analyzed 2.5 hr after the intravenous administration of d-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) to young rabbits. The drug stimulated transcription by 54% in brain stem nuclei and by 13% in cerebral hemisphere nuclei expressed over saline controls. Both nucleoplasmic and nucleolar RNA synthesis were increased. The main activity in the isolated nuclei assay was due to nucleoplasmic RNA polymerase, since alpha-amanitin reduced synthesis by over 70% in either drug or control treatments.

Heat shock protein in mammalian brain and other organs after a physiologically relevant increase in body temperature induced by D-lysergic acid diethylamide.
A physiologically relevant increase in body temperature from 39.7 to 42.5 degrees C, which was generated after the intravenous injection of D-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), caused the induction of synthesis of a 74,000-dalton heat shock protein in the brain, heart, and kidney of the young adult rabbit. A marked increase in the relative labeling of a 74,000-dalton protein was noted after anal...
متن کاملPharmacokinetics and Concentration-Effect Relationship of Oral LSD in Humans
BACKGROUND The pharmacokinetics of oral lysergic acid diethylamide are unknown despite its common recreational use and renewed interest in its use in psychiatric research and practice. METHODS We characterized the pharmacokinetic profile, pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationship, and urine recovery of lysergic acid diethylamide and its main metabolite after administration of a single oral...
متن کامل'Candyflipping': synergistic discriminative effect of LSD and MDMA.
The co-administration of D-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD; 'Acid') and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA; 'Ecstasy'; 'XTC'), has reached a prevalence that has allowed for the street terminology 'candyflipping' to describe the combination. Internet sites indicate a significant enhancement of central effects with their simultaneous use. In this preliminary observation, male Fawn-Hooded rat...
متن کاملStereospecific binding of D-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) to brain membranes: relationship to serotonin receptors.
D-[3H]LSD binds saturably, reversibly, and with a high affinity (KD = 10 nM) to rat brain membranes. The association and dissociation rates of binding are temperature dependent and fastest at 37 degrees C. Binding is enriched in crude microsomal (P3) membranes. D-[3H]LSD binding is stereospecific as L-LSD, the psychotropically inactive enatiomer, is 1000 times weaker than D-LSD as a displacing ...
متن کاملEffect of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25) on morphine induced bradycardia.
Several antagonistic interactions between morphine and LSD-25 (lysergic acid diethylamide) have been demonstrated. LSD-25 antagonizes morphine induced analgesia in rats (1) and emesis in dogs (2). It also blocks the miotic action of morphine (3). On the other hand morphine blocks LSD-25 induced pyre xia in rabbits (4) and the central hypotensive effect of LSD-25 in dogs (5). Morphine produces m...
