Functional significance of the activities of glutaminase and ornithine-?-aminotransferase in rat brain.

Only registered users can translate articles

The activities of glutaminase, glutamine synthetase (GS), arginase and ornithine amino transferase (orn-T) were studied in three regions of rat brain in heightened neuronal activity by producing convulsions by leptazol. These enzymes were studied in preconvulsive, convulsive and postconvulsive

Changes in the activity of glutamate related enzymes in cerebral cortex, during insulin-induced seizures.

Only registered users can translate articles

The activity of glutamate related enzymes and the concentration of glutamine, glutamate and gamma-amino n-butyric acid (GABA) were investigated in the cerebral cortex of rats, in different stages of insulin-induced hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia was produced by intraperitoneal injection of insulin

Acute and long-term effects of chlorpromazine on glutamine synthetase and glutaminase in rat brain.

Only registered users can translate articles

The effect of administration of chlorpromazine on the activity of glutamine synthetase and glutaminase and the content of glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in different regions of rat brain was studied in an investigation of the possible role of these amino acids in the lowering of the

Identification of a Loss-of-Function Mutation in the Context of Glutaminase Deficiency and Neonatal Epileptic Encephalopathy.

The identification and understanding of the monogenic causes of neurodevelopmental disorders are of high importance for personalized treatment and genetic counseling.To identify and characterize novel genes for a specific neurodevelopmental disorder

Increased expression of phosphate-activated glutaminase in hippocampal neurons in human mesial temporal lobe epilepsy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) have increased basal concentrations of extracellular glutamate in the epileptogenic versus the non-epileptogenic hippocampus. Such elevated glutamate levels have been proposed to underlie the initiation and maintenance of recurrent seizures, and a

[Protective effect of arginine in hyperoxia. Activity of cerebral glutaminase and glutamate decarboxylase].

Only registered users can translate articles

Activity of glutaminase (both phosphate-dependent and phosphate-independent forms of the enzyme) as well as glutamate decarboxylase activity were studied in hyperoxia (6 ati) and under conditions of protection by means of arginine from the effect of hyperoxia. In hyperoxia activity of

Altered glutamate metabolism contributes to antiepileptogenic effects in the progression from focal seizure to generalized seizure by low-frequency stimulation in the ventral hippocampus.

Only registered users can translate articles

As a promising method for treating intractable epilepsy, the inhibitory effect of low-frequency stimulation (LFS) is well known, although its mechanisms remain unclear. Excessive levels of cerebral glutamate are considered a crucial factor for epilepsy. Therefore, we designed experiments to

Mechanisms of Excessive Extracellular Glutamate Accumulation in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy.

Only registered users can translate articles

There is compelling evidence that initiation and maintenance of epileptic seizures in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is facilitated by excessive accumulation in the extracellular (perisynaptic) space of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate (Glu). This review discusses the mechanisms underlying

Pentylenetetrazole inhibits glutamate dehydrogenase and aspartate aminotransferase, and stimulates GABA aminotransferase in homogenates from rat cerebral cortex.

Only registered users can translate articles

The mechanism by which pentylenetetrazole provokes convulsions in animals has been investigated by measuring its influence in vitro on the activities of several enzymes of glutamate metabolism in rat brain homogenates. Pentylenetetrazole does not affect the specific activities of glutamine

Differential molecular regulation of glutamate in kindling resistant rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

Using pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) kindling, we collected hippocampal tissue from standard response and kindling resistant animals, measuring hippocampal mRNA with real-time PCR of glutamate transporters GLAST, GLT-1, and EAAC1 and the sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter (SNAT) 1, SNAT2, and

Studies on sound-induced epilepsy in mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

The cerebral concentrations of pyridoxal-5'-phosphate and divalent transition metal ions (Cu2+ and Zn2+) are appreciably higher in the seizure-susceptible strain of mouse (DBA/2J) than those in normal strains (CBA/Ca and Parkes ). By injecting metal ions intracranially and pyridoxal-5'-phosphate

Impaired glutamatergic and GABAergic transmission by amitraz in primary hippocampal cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Amitraz is a formamidine pesticide that has been reported to be a neurotoxic compound that induces convulsions among other effects. Excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission is mediated mainly by glutamate and GABA, respectively, so their alteration could be responsible for induction of seizures.

Lysophosphatidic Acid and Glutamatergic Transmission.

Only registered users can translate articles

Signaling through bioactive lipids regulates nervous system development and functions. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a membrane-derived lipid mediator particularly enriched in brain, is able to induce many responses in neurons and glial cells by affecting key processes like synaptic plasticity,

The anticonvulsant actions of carisbamate associate with alterations in astrocyte glutamine metabolism in the lithium-pilocarpine epilepsy model.

Only registered users can translate articles

As reported previously, in the lithium-pilocarpine model of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), carisbamate (CRS) produces strong neuroprotection, leads to milder absence-like seizures, and prevents behavioral impairments in a subpopulation of rats. To understand the metabolic basis of these effects, here
