anticonvulsant/トウモロコシ

The anticonvulsant drug carbamazepine is considered as an indicator of sewage water pollution: however, its uptake by plants and effect on metabolism have not been sufficiently documented, let alone its metabolite (10,11-epoxycarbamazepine). In a model system of sterile, hydroponically cultivated

Toluene is one of the most widely used solvents. Electrophysiological studies indicated that this solvent directly affects various ligand gated ion channels including NMDA, GABA(A), nicotinic and glycine receptors. The effect of toluene on seizures induced by chemoconvulsants acting on these

The effects of three isomers (alpha, beta, gamma) of hexachlorocyclohexane on the acquisition and expression of kindled amygdaloid seizures were compared. Treatment with corn oil (vehicle) was compared with daily 5 mg/kg doses of the isomers for 15 days during kindling procedures. The results

Pregabalin is an anticonvulsant drug used for neuropathic pain and as an adjunct therapy for partial seizures with or without secondary generalization in adults. In conventional therapy recommended dose for pregabalin is 75 mg twice daily or 50 mg three times a day, with maximum dosage of 600 mg/d.

Two isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) have profound effects on the acquisition of kindled seizures. The gamma-isomer (lindane, gamma-HCH) increases the rate of acquisition in a dose-related manner whereas the beta-isomer (beta-HCH) has the opposite effect, retarding the rate in a dose-related

The anticonvulsant valproic acid (VPA), or 2-propylpentanoic acid, is a short-chain aliphatic acid that is teratogenic in humans and rodents. VPA and 14 related chemicals were screened for developmental toxicity using the Chernoff/Kavlock assay. Test agents, in corn oil, were administered by gavage

There is an increasing body of evidence that the central nervous system is affected by cholestatic liver disorders. Cholestasis has been shown to result in a decreased seizure propensity which is believed to be mediated by an increased opioidergic tone and nitric oxide (NO) signaling pathway. In
