BACKGROUND
Acetone, one of the principal ketone bodies elevated during treatment with the ketogenic diet, exhibits anticonvulsant properties that may contribute to the seizure protection conferred by the diet. The anticonvulsant mechanism of acetone is unknown, but it is metabolized to several
In an elevated plus-maze indole-3-pyruvic acid (IPA, 100-200 mg/kg), an endogenous metabolite of tryptophan, possesses in mice an activity typical of anxiolytics. IPA increased the ratio of the number of entries into open arms over the total number of entries into open and closed arms and the time
OBJECTIVE
A retrospective study was performed between January 2007 and December 2012 to assess the admission rates of newborns due to episodes of cyanosis
METHODS
Retrospective study that included all the newborns hospitalized with episodes of cyanosis between January 2007 and December 2012. In them
The author describes a family (48 year old mother and 15 year old son) with the muscular variant of glycogenosis-McArde's metabolic myopathy. The mother has been ill since 22 years old, the son--since 7. The disease had a slowly progressive development. The clinical picture was characterized by
The patient was a 35-year-old female with an 9-year history of chronic kidney disease awaiting renal transplantation. She was brought to hospital by ambulance due to a generalized convulsive seizure. Her consciousness remained disturbed after treatment for her seizure, and sensorineural deafness was
Effect of diazinon (10,20 and 40 mg/kg, i.p.) on the level of blood glucose in rats was investigated. Hyperglycaemia peaked 2 h after i.p. treatment with 40 mg/kg diazinon. The cerebral acetylcholinesterase activity was significantly reduced. The blood level of pyruvic acid was unchanged while that
BACKGROUND
Pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) deficiency constitutes the most frequent metabolic origin of congenital lactic acidosis and is also responsible for a less usual form, found exclusively in females, which leads to a dysmorphic syndrome accompanied by severe cerebral malformations. The most
1. Increases in the concentrations of lactic acid and pyruvic acid in rat brain during acute dieldrin poisoning are associated with hyperactivity of the brain, whereas an increase in the cerebral alanine concentration occurs before the convulsions. Throughout the dieldrin-induced seizure pattern,
Ten N-[4-[4-(arylthiosemicarbazido)carbonyl]phenyl]-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzamides were synthesized and characterized by their sharp melting points, elemental analyses, and IR and NMR spectra. All substituted benzamides were evaluated for their anticonvulsant activity. The degree of protection afforded
Several N,N'-bis[3-(3-substituted urea)propyl]piperazines were synthesized and characterized by their sharp melting points, elemental analyses, and IR spectra. All substituted piperazines were found to possess anticonvulsant activity, which was reflected by 20-70% protection observed against
Ethyl pyruvate (EP), a simple ester of pyruvic acid, has been shown to exert robust neuroprotection in various neuropathological conditions, such as, cerebral ischemia and KA-induced seizure animal models. The neuroprotective effect of EP is attributable to the anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and
