An 18-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of convulsive seizure. He had psychomotor retardation and intellectual disability from childhood, and had been diagnosed with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder when he was 12 years old. He showed mental deficit (Wechsler Adult
Nicotinamide (NAM, 1000 mg/kg), inosine (INS, 1000 mg/kg), hypoxanthine (HXT, 500 mg/kg), putative endogenous ligands of the benzodiazepine receptor, and nicotinic acid (NA, 500 mg/kg) diminished DL-kynurenine-(DL-K, 50 micrograms ICV) induced seizures in C57BL/6 adult male mice and only prolonged
Brain inosine and hypoxanthine were measured in mice at intervals following the intraperitoneal injection of pentylenetetrazol (PTZ), 100 mg/kg. These purines increased only after myoclonic jerks appeared and were maximal at the time of tonic hindlimb extension. Phenytoin and phenobarbital, which
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) markers of cerebral energy depletion were measured in 32 infants and children following short (less than 10 minutes) febrile convulsions, and in 19 controls. Specific and sensitive indices of high-energy phosphate compound depletion (hypoxanthine, xanthine and uridine)
Catabolites of purine nucleotides were measured in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of newborn infants with sepsis, seizures and hydrocephalus using isocratic reversed-phase HPLC. The inosine levels in the CSF of the infants with any of the illnesses were significantly higher when compared with the
Cardiazol induced seizures in rabbits showed that the highest oxypurine concentrations can be detected in the CSF 1 hour after the convulsions. There is a sharp decline continuing until the third hour. After that the CSF values remain nearly constant until the 24th hour being about ten times higher
We analyzed brain tissue in 139 rats for adenosine and its metabolites, inosine and hypoxanthine, during the initial 120 seconds of seizures induced by bicuculline. We also measured ATP, ADP, AMP, phosphocreatine (PCr), and lactate. We divided the rats into four groups by adjustment of their
In forty-five children the hypoxanthine concentration in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was measured (fifty-two samples). In newborn infants (nineteen patients) the hypoxanthine levels were higher in patients with clinical conditions associated with hypoxia (idiopathic respiratory distress syndrome,
Reference genes are often used to normalize expression of data from real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and only a validation of their stability during a given experimental paradigm leads to reliable interpretations. The present study was thus designed
A 17-year-old boy with partial hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase deficiency developed a hypersensitivity reaction to allopurinol. The reaction was manifested by the development of bizarre, atypical seizures. The patient had been neurologically normal prior to the reaction. Seizures
If febrile seizures cause significant compromise of neuronal metabolism (whether permanent or reversible), this should be reflected in an increase in the cerebrospinal fluid concentrations of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and/or adenosine triphosphate (ATP) breakdown products. In the present study,
Adenosine monophosphate, inosine monophosphate, inosine, adenosine, guanosine, adenine, guanine, hypoxanthine, xanthine, uric acid and pyrimidine bases were determined in the CSF of 18 children after simple febrile seizures and in a control group. There was no statistically significant difference
Adenosine monophosphate, inosine monophosphate, inosine, adenosine, guanosine, adenine, guanine, hypoxanthine, xanthine and uric acid were determined in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 15 children after complex febrile seizures (CFS) and in 27 after simple febrile seizures (SFS), and compared with
Prolonged exposure to hyperbaric oxygen causes central nervous system (CNS) oxygen toxicity manifested by grand mal seizures. The superoxide anion is believed to be a cause of tissue damage in CNS oxygen toxicity and it is proposed that xanthine oxidase activity is one of the prime sources of
