The influence of bicuculline-induced seizures on free fatty acid concentrations in cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum.

Only registered users can translate articles

Using ventilated rats maintained on N2O-O2 (70:30, vol/vol) we induced continuous seizures with i.v. bicuculline and analysed free fatty acids (FFA) in cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum after seizures durations of 1-120 min. In the cerebral cortex, peak FFA concentrations were observed

Reduced labeling of brain phosphatidylinositol, triacylglycerols, and diacylglycerols by [1-14C]arachidonic acid after electroconvulsive shock: potentiation of the effect by adrenergic drugs and comparison with palmitic acid labeling.

The effect of electroconvulsive shock on the labeling of phospholipids and neutral lipids in mice brains was examined after intracerebral injection of [1-14C] arachidonic acid or [1-14C]palmitic acid. Electroconvulsive shock reduced greatly the removal of radiolabeled arachidonic acid from the free

GC-MS-Based metabolomics discovers a shared serum metabolic characteristic among three types of epileptic seizures.

Only registered users can translate articles

Understanding the overall and common metabolic changes of seizures can provide novel clues for their control and prevention. Here, we aim to investigate the global metabolic feature of serum for three types of seizures. We recruited 27 patients who had experienced a seizure within 48h (including 11

Heat stress deteriorates mitochondrial beta-oxidation of long-chain fatty acids in cultured fibroblasts with fatty acid beta-oxidation disorders.

Only registered users can translate articles

Mitochondrial fatty acids beta-oxidation disorder (FAOD) has become popular with development of tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and enzymatic evaluation techniques. FAOD occasionally causes acute encephalopathy or even sudden death in children. On the other hand, hyperpyrexia may also trigger

In vitro opioid receptor affinity and in vivo behavioral studies of Nelumbo nucifera flower.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Nelumbo nucifera Geartn., known as sacred lotus, has been used traditionally in South East Asia as a traditional medicine for various CNS disorders including stress, fever, depression, insomnia, and cognitive conditions. OBJECTIVE To investigate the in vitro cannabinoid and opioid

Sequelae of parenteral domoic acid administration in rats: comparison of effects on different metabolic markers in brain.

Only registered users can translate articles

Parenterally administered domoic acid, a structural analog of the excitatory amino acids glutamic acid and kainic acid, has specific effects on brain histology in rats, as measured using different anatomic markers. Domoic acid-induced convulsions affects limbic structures such as hippocampus and

Kinetic properties of arachidonoyl-coenzyme A synthetase in rat brain microsomes.

Only registered users can translate articles

Free arachidonic acid is released rapidly in the brain at the onset of ischemia and during convulsions. The transient nature of this phenomenon indicates the existence of an active reacylation system for this fatty acid, likely an arachidonoyl-CoA synthetase-arachidonoyl transferase. The first of

Does valproate therapy in epileptic patients contribute to changing atherosclerosis risk factors? The role of lipids and free fatty acids.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND We aimed to demonstrate the relationship between the valproate (VPA) treatment versus lipid and serum free fatty acids (FFAs) profiles to be the potential atherosclerosis risk factor in epileptic patients. METHODS Fasting blood samples were taken from 21 adult VPA-treated patients and 21

Rare disorders of metabolism with elevated butyryl- and isobutyryl-carnitine detected by tandem mass spectrometry newborn screening.

Only registered users can translate articles

Tandem mass spectrometry was adopted for newborn screening by North Carolina in April 1999. Since then, three infants with short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCAD) and one with isobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency were detected on the basis of elevated butyrylcarnitine/isobutyrylcarnitine

Anticonvulsant activity of N-palmitoylethanolamide, a putative endocannabinoid, in mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate in mice the anticonvulsant potential of N-palmitoylethanolamide, a putative endocannabinoid that accumulates in the body during inflammatory processes. METHODS N-palmitoylethanolamide was injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) in mice and evaluated for
