ames test
section::::applications.









































the s9 fraction has been used in conjunction with the ames test to assess the mutagenic potential of chemical compounds. chemical substances sometimes require metabolic activation in order to become mutagenic. furthermore, the metabolic enzymes of bacteria used in the ames test differ substantially from those in mammals. therefore, to mimic the metabolism of test substance that would occur in mammals, the s9 fraction is often added to the ames test.









































the s9 fraction has also been used to assess the metabolic stability of candidate drugs.

a diagnosable condition called hallucinogen persisting perception disorder has been defined to describe intermittent or chronic flashbacks that cause distress or impairment in life and work, and are caused only by prior hallucinogen use and not some other condition.

the mutagenic potential of lsd is unclear. overall, the evidence seems to point to limited or no effect at commonly used doses. empirical studies showed no evidence of teratogenic or mutagenic effects from use of lsd in man.

tolerance to lsd builds up with consistent use and cross-tolerance has been demonstrated between lsd, mescaline
