Abstract
Assessment of toxic manifestations and sleeping times in mice shows that the mushroom Coprinus atramentarius potentiates the action of ethanol when administered orally from 3 to 16 hr before a sub-lethal dose of ethanol. Administration of this mushroom 24 hr before, immediately after or 3 hr after the ethanol causes no potentiation. No similar effect was observed with Coprinus comatus.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
