We report a rapid single-reagent method for determining total bilirubin with the “CentrifiChem Analyzer” (Union Carbide Corp.). The reagent is the stable 1,5-disulfonate of diazosulfanilic acid, and ethylene glycol is used as an accelerator. The reaction requires less than 5 mm. Only 25 l of serum is needed. We present precision data ( = 2.62 mg/dl, SD = .082 mg/dl, CV = 3.13%) and results (r =...

The electric behaviour of the mormyrid Gnathonemus petersii is changed by dopaminergic drugs applied to the aquarium water. The upper limit of the interpuls interval distributions is significantly shifted to shorter intervals by apomorphine-HCl (.082 - .328 mg/ml), and to longer intervals by haloperidol (.041 - .164 mg/ml). The effect of apomorphine is antagonized by haloperidol. Probably, a do...

The serotonin (5-HT)(2A/2c) agonist 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOI), the 5-HT2C agonist 6-chloro-2-[1-piperazinyl]-pyrazine and the 5-HT2A partial agonist m-chloro-phenylpiperazine (mCPP) were injected bilaterally into the medial prefrontal cortex of male rats. DOI and mCPP, but not 6-chloro-2-[1-piperazinly]-pyrazine, elicited a dose-dependent head-twitch response (HTR). DO...
