Electroencephalographic and behavioral alterations produced by delta-1-tetrahydrocannabinol.

The administration of small doses of Delta(l)-tetrahydrocannabinol to cats with indwelling electrodes produced a disruption of both the electroencephalogram and behavior. Some of these alterations, including the appearance of a high-voltage slow wave electroencephalogram in the awake and moving animal, have been observed in cats that had been administered other drugs known to cause hallucinogenic states in man.

Pyrazole and induction of fatty liver by a single dose of ethanol.

Pyrazole (4 millimoles per kilogram or 272 milligrams per kilogram of body weight), given to fasted rats 10 minutes before gavage with ethanol (4 grams per kilogram), completely prevented both the disappearance of ethanol from the blood over a 16-hour period and the ethanol-induced reduction in the ratio of oxidized to reduced hepatic nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide. However, it did not affect the accumulation of triglycerides in the liver after the administration of ethanol. These results indicate that metabolism of ethanol is not required for production of fatty liver by a single, large dose of ethanol.
