We have investigated the comparative effects of estradiol benzoate (EB), the antiestrogen clomiphene citrate (CC), and the progestin medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) on seizures induced by systemic injection of kainic acid (15 mg/kg i.p.) in male and female rats. Subcutaneous administration for 10
Sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate (Picolight Powder), which is used as a bowel preparation for the colon and the rectum, can cause a severe electrolyte imbalance like hyponatremia. When hyponatremia gets severe or occurs rapidly, it can lead to death due to associated complications. We have
OBJECTIVE
Due to the shortage of parenteral caffeine and sodium benzoate, patients were pretreated with caffeine citrate to increase therapeutic seizure duration during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). To date, no data are available on the use of caffeine citrate during ECT. This retrospective case
Sildenafil is a phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension. Proconvulsant effect is a serious adverse event associated with sildenafil use. Here, we investigated the possible proconvulsant effects of sildenafil in pilocarpine
Systemic administration of bicuculline (Bic) and 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MP) induces generalized seizure in laboratory animals. The effect of these convulsants on lactate dehydrogenase and citrate synthase activities in rat cerebral cortex was studied. Bic was administered i.p. at 1.0 mg/kg
Combined D,L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria (DL-2HGA; OMIM #615182) is a rare neurometabolic disorder clinically characterized by muscular hypotonia, severe neurodevelopmental dysfunction, and intractable seizures associated with respiratory distress. Biochemically, DL-2HGA patients excrete increased
The utility of serum citrate as a peripheral indicator of toxicity was tested as a possible investigational probe for compounds which inhibit citrate metabolism. Fluoroacetate (FA) and its putative toxic metabolite, fluorocitrate (FC), were given to rats and dogs in a series of studies. In rats, 3
In order to determine the effects of acetate on signs and symptoms of hypoglycemic seizures, Swiss Webster albino mice were injected intraperitoneally with solutions of NaCl, NaHCO3, NH4Cl, Na-acetate, or NH4-acetate, followed by subcutaneous injection of 7 U of insulin/kg body wt. Administration of
During seizure-like events (SLEs), intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) increases causing depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane and subsequent intramitochondrial accumulation of Ca2+. Mitochondrial depolarization results in an interruption of oxidative phosphorylation and increase in
Fluoroacetic and fluorocitric acid toxicity is often characterized by seizures, however the mechanism of this activity is unknown. Intrathecal (i.t.) injection of fluorocitrate in mice resulted in seizures after an average latency of 15 s, while intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection produced
Clinical seizures ceased during six months of clomiphene citrate therapy in a 36-year-old man who had hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, reproductive dysfunction, and a 16-year history of regular seizures. Seizures recurred during the month that followed the discontinuation of clomiphene therapy. This
