Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Les signes d'intoxication au kava se manifestent dans l'heure qui suit l'ingestion par une action sur la fonction physiologique (pression sanguine, rythme cardiaque, respiration modifiés) ainsi que sur les mouvements du corps et la fonction cognitive.
ENGLISH:
Volunteer subjects were assigned to receive a mixture of the intoxicating substance, kava, in a mixture with fruit juice, or juice alone. Subjects receiving kava reported feelings of intoxication which peaked approximately one hour after kava ingestion. Compared to the group receiving juice alone, the group receiving kava also had increased body sway. There were no other statistically significant differences between groups, although the mean cognitive performance of the group receiving kava was generally poorer.(Extract from the author's abstract)
