Potentiation of (DL)‐3,4‐methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)‐induced toxicity by the serotonin 2A receptior partial agonist d‐lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), and the protection of same by the serotonin 2A/2C receptor antagonist MDL 11,939

AbstractTo elucidate the role of the serotonin (5‐HT)2A/2C receptors in 3,4‐methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)‐induced neurotoxicity, MDMA was administered to rats and the presence of the serotonin transporter (5‐HTT) was assessed at the protein level with immunohistochemistry (IHC), and the RNA level with a Northern blotting technique. d‐lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and MDL 11,939 were...
