Sažetak

Single or repeated administration of Δ 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (30 mg/kg i.p.) increased 5-hydroxytryptamine levels in rats' brain, but did not affect dopamine or noradrenaline levels. Brain and blood tryptophan levels were raised only after a single¬-dose regimen. The primary effect of Δ 9-tetrahydrocannabinol may be a mobilization of blood tryptophan by displacement from its albumin-bound depots, due to a high affinity of the drug for plasma albumin.
