Using mRNA differential display, we found that the gene for NAD(+)-dependent glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH; EC 1.1.1.8) is induced in rat brain following seizure activity. Northern blot and in situ hybridization analysis confirmed the differential display results; they also showed, in a
The effect of bicuculline-induced convulsive seizures on lipid metabolism has been studied in four brain areas (cerebellum, cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and brainstem) using [2-3H]glycerol and [1,2-14C]ethanolamine as radioactive lipid precursors administered simultaneously with bicuculline. Twelve
It is widely accepted that interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), a cytokine produced not only by cells of the immune system but also by cells of the central nervous system, modulates hippocampal function. Here we investigate the effect of a seizure-induced increase in hippocampal IL-1beta concentration on
Glycerol, the end product of phospholipid degradation, was measured in cat brains under pathophysiological conditions known to cause activation of lipolysis, namely, bicuculline-induced seizures, permanent focal cerebral ischemia (2 hr of middle cerebral artery occlusion), and global cerebral
Early post-traumatic seizures occur commonly and may have adverse clinical consequences. In order to determine the significance of post-traumatic seizures, we performed a prospective assessment of the consequences of epileptic activity by assessing the change in extracellular glycerol levels.
A fast and simple method for separation of 16 seizure drug substances using capillary electrophoresis in a non-aqueous separation medium is described. The separation medium consists of a mixture of acetonitrile, methanol and glycerol with ammonium acetate/acetic acid as the electrolyte. The analytes
Status epilepticus (SE) is characterized by recurrent seizure activity and can be drug- resistant. Knowledge of neuronal and metabolic activity of the brain during SE may be helpful to improve medical care. We here report the effects of three anti-seizure drugs on changes of A 4 10/12 yr-old white male presented with a history of occasional grand mal seizures and hypoglycemic episodes after overnight fasting. Upon evaluation, he became hypoglycemic after 1 g/kg oral glycerol challenge (plasma glucose: 31 mg/dl in 45 min), but had normal glucose, alanine and fructose
Advances in the understanding of the endogenous cannabinoid system have led to several therapeutic indications for new classes of compounds that enhance cannabinergic responses. Endocannabinoid levels are elevated during pathogenic conditions, and inhibitors of endocannabinoid inactivation promote
We demonstrate that isolated glycerol kinase (GK) deficiency in three families results from mutation of the Xp21 GK gene. GK mutations were detected in four patients with widely differing phenotypes. Patient 1 had a splice-site mutation causing premature termination. His general health was good
OBJECTIVE
To clarify the usefulness of glycerol-induced cerebral blood flow measurement (G-CBF) as a method for prognostic evaluation of an asymptomatic unruptured cerebral aneurysm (AUCA).
METHODS
Fifty-three patients (age: 26-72 years; ratio of males to females, 23: 30; 56 AUCAs) who were found to
A 46 year old male inadvertently consumed 500 ml of glycerol and presented with altered sensorium, focal neurologic signs and generalised seizures. He was managed conservatively and recovered fully within 48 hours. The case highlights the rare presentations of overdosage and neurologic effects with
Isolated glycerol kinase deficiency (GKD) is an X linked recessive disorder. The clinical and biochemical picture may vary from a childhood metabolic crisis to asymptomatic adult "pseudohypertriglyceridaemia", the result of hyperglycerolaemia. We performed glycerol kinase (GK) gene analysis to study
We report a 85-year-old woman who died after one year history of convulsion, dementia, and consciousness disturbance. She was apparently well until January 6, 1995 when she was 85 year old; on that evening, she suddenly stated that some one was in her room and she became confused. A local MD gave
Glycerol acute renal failure (ARF) was examined to see if it alters theophylline (Th) neurotoxicity in rats. Concentrations of Th in serum, cerebrospinal fluid and in brain at seizure onset were similar in control and ARF rats infused with Th. Thus, glycerol ARF fails to alter Th neurotoxicity, an
