Effect of non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs on the tetrazolium reductase activity of leucocytes

That the alterations in systemic blood pressure represent a direct interaction between drug and brain tissue is confounded by the recognition that changes in cerebral arterial tonus can modify peripheral vascular responses (Kaneko, McCubbin & Page, 1960; Mitchell, Sciven & Rosendorff, 1975). Dyer & Gant (1973) have shown that mescaline constricts umbilical vasculatue and it may be inferred that systemic blood pressue changes observed in this study may reflect mescaline action at the cerebral vascular level.
