The behavioral effects of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) and a TRH analogue, DN-1417 (butyrolactone-carbonyl-L-histidyl-L-prolinamide citrate) on the ataxia of Rolling mouse Nagoya and Staggerer mouse were examined using open-field methods. The ataxic gaits improved after injection of TRH (25
The endogenous brain constituent, gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), as well as its prodrug, gamma-butyrolactone (GBL), have recently gained interest in the drug addiction field due to their abuse potential and fatalities caused by overdose. It is known that GHB has two sites of actions: the
A simple liquid-liquid extraction procedure for the analysis of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) in biological fluids without conversion to its lactone, gamma-butyrolactone, is described. Following derivatization to its di-TMS derivative, GHB was detected using gas chromatography-electron impact mass
Tetrahydrofuran is used as a reaction medium for Grignard and metal hydride reactions; in the synthesis of butyrolactone, succinic acid, and 1,4-butanediol diacelate; in the fabrication of articles for packaging, transporting, and storing of foods; as a solvent for dyes and lacquers; and as a
The stargazer (stg) mutant mouse, having mutation in stargazin, the calcium channel gamma2 subunit, exhibited several neurological disorders including spontaneous absence seizure, cerebellar ataxia, and head tossing. To understand the molecular pathogenic mechanism of the absence seizure resulted
gamma-Hydroxybutyrate (GHB), a therapeutic for narcolepsy and a drug of abuse, has several mechanisms of action that involve GHB and GABA(B) receptors, metabolism to GABA, and modulation of dopaminergic signaling. The aim of these studies was to examine the role of GHB and GABA(B) receptors in the
GHB is a naturally occurring compound in the central nervous system (CNS) whose tissue concentration are highly increased during drug abuse and in the inherited deficiency of succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (SSADH) activity. SSADH deficiency is a neurometabolic-inherited disorder of the
gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) is a naturally occurring compound in the central nervous system (CNS) whose tissue concentration are highly increased in the neurometabolic-inherited deficiency of succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (SSADH) activity or due to intoxication. SSADH deficiency is
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of carbamazepine (CBZ) upon chemically induced absence seizures and in a genetic absence seizures model in the mouse.
METHODS
The γ-butyrolactone (GBL)-induced acute absence seizures and the stargazer spontaneous absence seizures mice
