The effect of benzodiazepines (BZP) on melatonin release was investigated in the pineal gland of the rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, maintained under in vitro perifusion culture conditions. Melatonin and the methoxyindoles 5-methoxytryptophol (5-MTOL), 5-methoxyindoleacetic acid (5-MIAA), and 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MT) were

Melatonin modulates a variety of rhythmic processes in vertebrates, and is synthesized in both the retina and pineal gland. We have shown previously that retinal melatonin is deacetylated generating 5-methoxytryptamine, which is then deaminated by monoamine oxidase, producing 5-methoxyindoleacetic acid

Foxy is the colloquial name for the hallucinogen 5-ethoxy-diisopropyltryptamine (5-MeO-DIPT). A non-fatality involving a 23-year-old Caucasian man who ingested a capsule containing 5-MeO-DIPT is described. He presented to the Emergency Department, not with visual nor auditory hallucinations but with sensory

A comparative study of the effect produced by endogenous carcinogens (p-hydroxyphenyllactic and 5-methoxyindole-3-acetic acids) and their non-cancerogenic analogues on lipid peroxidation in vitro and in vivo was performed. It has been found that cancerogenic tyrosine and serotonin metabolites, unlike their
