Mice pretreated with the monoamine oxidase inhibitor pargyline showed a dose-dependent increase in hyperactivity for up to 2 h following injections of N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT: 0.5–8.0 mg/kg). Hyperactivity was related to a linear increase in whole brain concentrations of DMT as measured by a new sensitive gas chromatographic assay. The duration of this behaviour paralleled the concentration of DMT in the brain from 15–120 min. However, at 15 min, there was no significant difference in brain…

Findings indicate a 5-HT receptor stimulation by psilocybin and dimethyltryptamine in the same way as has previously been found for d -lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), since the effects were independent of the known stores of5-HT.

The results fail to support the hypothesis that psychotropic effects of methionine or SAMe are due to increased accumulations of pharmacologically active methylated indoleamines, and the production of [14]DMT was instead markedly irihihitrd by this treatment.
