cyclic guanosine 3 5 monophosphate/seizures

Phenytoin antagonized the electroshock-induced increase in levels of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP) in cerebrum and cerebellum, respectively, from CF-1 mice. However, the effective dose range of phenytoin for significant reduction of the

The effect of substituting deuterium for hydrogen in the halothane molecule on anesthetic potency, motor activity, and cerebellar cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP) content was studied in mice. The concentration of halothane required to abolish the righting reflex in 50% of the mice

The main objective of the present study is to investigate the possible effects of chronic ethanol consumption and ethanol withdrawal on cyclic guanosine 3', 5'-monophosphate (cGMP) levels in cerebral cortex, striatum, hippocampus and hypothalamus of rat brain. Ethanol was given to female Wistar rats

Phenytoin (diphenylhydantoin) inhibits the calcium-dependent increases in guanosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cGMP) produced by high potassium depolarization and by muscarinic receptor activation in N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells. The inhibition of the cGMP response to depolarization is half-maximal at 40

PSD-93, a molecular adaptive protein, binds to and clusters the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor and assembles a specific set of signaling proteins (for example neuronal nitric oxide synthase, nNOS) around the NMDA receptor at synapses in the central nervous system. This suggests that PSD-93

We planned to ascertain whether the administration of the anticholinesterase, tacrine (5 mg/kg i.p.), to rats pretreated 24 h before with lithium chloride (LiCl; 12 mEq/kg i.p.) produced any change in nitric oxide (NO) synthase activity in the hippocampus. A significant increase in hippocampal

It has been reported that N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR)-triggered neurotoxicity is related to excessive Ca(2+) loading and an increase in nitric oxide (NO) concentration. However, the molecular mechanisms that underlie these events are not completely understood. NMDARs and neuronal NO
