> Selective central benzodiazepine agonists, such as clonazepam, are known to modify serotonin and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic content in the brain. In order to further study the effect of this benzodiazepine on serotonin turnover rate, rats received clonazepam, 10 mg/kg for 10 days, and the concentrations of serotonin and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid were determined in the hippocampus after inhibition of monoamineoxidase with pargyline. ...Hi,
10mg/kg would be like a 220lb person taking 1000mg daily of clonazepam for 10 days. Unless I'm reading this wrong, sounds like enough benzo to knock off a horse, much less a rat. How can anything be inferred from such high dosages.
