beta phenylethylamine/seizures

The relationship between deprenyl (MAO-B inhibitor), beta-phenylethylamine (PEA, MAO-B substrate) and [D-Ala2]-Met-enkephalinamide (DALA)-induced seizure was studied in the urethane-anaesthetized rats. A combined electromyographic (EMG) and electrocorticographic (ECoG) method was used. PEA (20-100

beta-Phenylethylamine (beta-PEA), an endogenous amine synthesized in the brain, serves as a neuromodulator and is involved in the pathophysiology of various neurological disorders such as depression, schizophrenia, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. beta-PEA fully exerts the physiological

The endogenous trace amine beta-phenylethylamine (PE) produced tonic-clonic seizures in male Swiss mice when administered in doses of 125-200 mg/kg. The number of mice exhibiting PE-induced seizures, the latency to onset of first seizure and the latency to loss of the righting reflex were dose

Like the anxiogenic drugs caffeine, pentylenetetrazole, and yohimbine, the endogenous neuroactive monoamine beta-phenylethylamine (PEA) is effective in three tests for anxiogens in mice. In a social interaction test it reduced both the number and duration of contacts. In a conflict situation test (a

In the experiment, rats were trained to discriminate 5 mg/kg cocaine HCl from saline in a two-bar drug discrimination procedure. Stimulus generalization experiments were carried out with six inhibitor drugs of monoamine oxidase. The rank order of absolute potency of these drugs in inducing stimulus

It has recently been reported that the concentration of beta-phenylethylamine (PEA) was elevated in the plasma of an individual experiencing convulsions because of an overdose of tranylcypromine. Also, high concentrations of PEA, injected into mice, were reported to induce convulsions. This

The effects of the administration [intraperitoneally, 15 and 75 mg/kg, except α-MePEA (amphetamine, AMPH) at 5 and 10 mg/kg] of β-phenylethylamine (PEA), its methylated (o-Me-, p-Me-, α-Me-, β-Me-, N-Me-, p-OMe-, N,N-di-Me-, and 3,4-diOH-N-Me-), para-halogenated (Br-, Cl-, F-, and I-), and other

The derivatives of GABA and beta-phenylethylamine (PEA) the tranquilizer phenibut and muscle relaxant baclofen (p-chloro-beta-phenyl-GABA, lioresal) diminished all studied effect of PEA in mice, namely seizures, sedation, excitation, hyperthermia. Diazepam diminished only seizures whereas

The following NEKY have been studied: 1-kynurenine (KYN), 3-hydroxyKYN (3HKYN), kynurenic (KYNA), anthranilic (ANT), 3-hydroxyANT (3HANT), quinolinic (QUIN), picolinic (PICA), xanthurenic (XAN), nicotinic (NIC) acids, 3-indole-pyruvate (IPA), nicotinamide (NAM). NEKY antagonize the central effects
