Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Curator's Comment: referenced study was conducted on mice.
Age-matched wild-type FVB/N and Tg-CYP2D6 mice were given an intraperitoneal dose of either harmaline 90, 2, 5, or 15 mg/kg) or bufotenine (0, 2, 10 0r 20 mg/kg). Wild-type and Tg-CYP2D6 mice exhibited hyperthermia with high doses of bufotenine ( 10 and 20 mg/kg).
Route of Administration: Intraperitoneal
In Vitro Use Guide
To determine if serotonin is involved in associative conditioning-produced changes of Type B photo-receptors, isolated nervous systems were exposed to a conditioning procedure in the absence or presence of drugs that alter normal serotonergic neurotransmission. Nervous systems were dissected, mounted and treated with protease before washing with artificial seawater (ASW), or ASW containing 100 microM bufotenine. When treated bufotenine clearly reduced the pairing specific cumulative depolarization and changes in input resistance. Treatment involving bufotenine suggests that serotonin modulates Type B photoreceptor excitability during associative conditioning.
