alpha-methylserotonin and Muscle Contraction

alpha-methylserotonin has been researched along with Muscle Contraction in 27 studies

alpha-methylserotonin: potent agonist at M & D receptors of serotonin; RN given refers to parent cpd

Muscle Contraction: A process leading to shortening and/or development of tension in muscle tissue. Muscle contraction occurs by a sliding filament mechanism whereby actin filaments slide inward among the myosin filaments.
