Influence of benzodiazepine (diazepam) by single and repeated treatment on the growth of Tetrahymena.
Diazepam at 10(-7) M stimulated considerably the growth of Tetrahymena. The growth rate increase was still demonstrable after 3 days (after about 15 generations) and was even greater than initially. A second treatment with diazepam did not furthermore increase the growth rate.
