hydroxyproline/癲癇性発作

The central activity of hydroxyproline - the amino acid characteristic for collagen degradation products was studied. The levels of urinary and serum hydroxyproline are elevated in many disturbances, among them is a mental deficiency connected with hydroxyprolinemia. Previous studies showed that the

Sparfloxacin is a widely prescribed drug for various infections. In the present study, sparfloxacin, at two doses, 25 and 50 mg kg(-1) was screened on seven neurological and neurobehavioural parameters in mice. In addition, a chronic study was performed to measure the grip strength of the animal to

Adult male rats were individually accustomed to experimental conditions in 16X16X30 cm polymethacrylate chambers. Each of 12 rats was twice subjected during 5 hrs or 5 1/2 hrs to hypobarism at a simulated altitude of 3000 m (725 Hpa). The amounts of total glycosaminoglycans (GAG) and hydroxyproline

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and TNF-alpha converting enzyme (TACE) contribute to the pathophysiology of bacterial meningitis. To date, MMP-inhibitors studied in models of meningitis were compromised by their hydrophobic nature. We investigated the pharmacokinetics and the effect of TNF484, a

Conotoxin mr3a from the venom of Conus marmoreus, a novel peptide that induces rolling seizures in mice, has the peptide sequence GCCGSFACRFGCVOCCV, where O is trans-4-hydroxyproline, and the chain is cross-linked with disulfide bonds between Cys-2 and Cys-16, Cys-3 and Cys-12, and Cys-8 and Cys-15.

Hyperprolinemia type II (HP II) is a rare inherited metabolic disease due to the deficiency of pyroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase. It is generally believed to be a benign condition although some patients have neurological problems such as refractory convulsions. Here we report a six-year-old girl

1 Collagen degradation products (CDP) resulting from bacterial collagenase digestion were fractionated by gel filtration and their biological activities in rats were estimated. 2 CDP induced the following kinin-like effects: increase in permeability of skin blood vessels, contraction of the isolated

1. The anticonvulsant properties of L-proline, of proline derivatives (trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline, cis-4-hydroxy-D-proline, 3,4-dehydro-D,L-proline) and of D- and L-pipecolic acid were studied alone and in combination with vigabatrin (R/S-4-aminohex-5-enoic acid). 3-Mercaptopropionic acid and

Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs)-induced adverse consequences on bone are now well recognized. Despite this, there is limited data on the effect of anti-osteoporotic therapies on AEDs-induced bone loss. We hypothesize that estrogen deprivation following phenytoin (PHT) and sodium valproate (SVP) therapy

Conotoxins are multiple disulfide-bonded peptides isolated from marine cone snail venom. These toxins have been classified into several families based on their disulfide pattern and biological properties. Here, we report a new family of Conus peptides, which have a novel cysteine motif. Three

Drug-induced gingival enlargement (DIGE) is a fibrotic condition that can be caused by the antihypertensive drug nifedipine and the anti-seizure drug phenytoin, but the molecular etiology of this type of fibrosis is not well understood and the role of confounding factors such as inflammation remains
