fructose/seizures

Inhibition of glycolytic metabolism may provide a new therapy for refractory epilepsy. Fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP), which inhibits glycolysis and diverts glucose into the pentose phosphate pathway, has strong inhibitory action on seizures induced by chemical convulsants. Here, we investigated the

OBJECTIVE Febrile seizure (FS) is a pediatric emergency. The reiterative attacks of FS may result in brain damage to various extents. Fructose-1,6-diphosphate, serving as a cellular energy substance, has been applied to clinical practice for many years and has shown its importance in adjuvant

A variety of observations suggest that decreasing glycolysis and increasing levels of reduced glutathione, generated by metabolism of glucose through the pentose phosphate pathway, would have an anticonvulsant effect. Because fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (F1,6BP) shifts the metabolism of glucose from

Hypernatremic dehydration was induced in rabbits during a 3- to 5-day period resulting in mean plasma sodium concentrations of 187 meq/liter. The animals were then rehydrated during a 4-h period by intravenous administration of a 2.5% glucose or fructose solution. The water content of four regions

OBJECTIVE Fructose-1, 6-diphosphate (FDP), serving as a cellular energy substance, has shown its roles in the treatment of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and myocardial damage. The present study aimed at exploring the potentiality of the protective effect of FDP against ultrastructural damage of

Fructose-1,6-diphosphate is a metabolic intermediate that promotes cell metabolism. We hypothesize that fructose-1,6-diphosphate can protect against neuronal damage induced by febrile convulsions. Hot-water bathing was used to establish a repetitive febrile convulsion model in rats aged 21 days,

Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) deficiency is a rare inborn error of metabolism affecting gluconeogenesis caused by FBP1 gene mutations. It could be more fatal to infants and children when glycogen reserves are insufficient. A 4-year-old girl was admitted with complex febrile convulsion.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the status of jejunal absorption and peripheral metabolism of glucose in Wistar Audiogenic Rats (WAR), a genetic model of epilepsy, after seizures induced by intensive sound exposure. The jejunal loop of rats was isolated and infused (0.5 mL min(-1))

Mice given intraperitoneal injections of methionine sulfoximine (MSO) (100 mg/kg body weight) showed tonic-clonic seizures 7 to 8 h later. The protein synthesis inhibitors actinomycin D and cycloheximide, when combined with MSO delayed the onset of seizures. Methionine completely abolished the

Fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP), an intracellular metabolite of glucose, has anticonvulsant activity in several models of acute seizures in laboratory animals. The anticonvulsant effect of FDP is most likely due to a direct effect since intraperitoneal and oral administration results in significant

Recently it has been shown that fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FDP) has dose-dependent anticonvulsant activity in rat models of acute generalized motor seizures induced with chemical convulsants. The present study asked whether FDP also has activity in an epileptic brain after oral administration and

OBJECTIVE To report the first case of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) deficiency diagnosed by genetic sequencing in China, and to improve the cognition of this rare disease. METHODS The clinical and laboratory characteristics of FBPase deficiency were reviewed, and the findings of direct

Topiramate is a sulfamate derivative of the naturally occurring monosaccharide D-fructose. It was initially approved in the United States as adjunctive therapy for partial seizures in 1997. However, there is increasing evidence that it is effective in the treatment of generalized seizures and

MPI-CDG (formally called CDG 1b), caused by phosphomannose isomerase (MPI) deficiency, leads to hypoglycaemia, protein losing enteropathy, hepatopathy, and thrombotic events, whereas neurologic development remains unaffected. Dietary supplementation of mannose can reverse clinical symptoms by

Introduction: Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) deficiency is a rare inherited disorder in gluconeogenesis, characterized by hypoglycemia, ketonuria, metabolic acidosis and convulsions. Case
