inulin/seizures

Cerebral cortex of cat was incubated with 14C-lysine and 3H-glucosamine. Subsequent superfusion of the surface of the cortex resulted in the release into the superfusate of a variety of 14C- and 3H-labeled compounds including proteins, glycoproteins, and gangliosides. The release of 14C- and

1. Although many studies have assessed changes to brain uptake of anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) in chemically and electrically induced seizure models, there are limited data available on changes to brain uptake of AEDs in spontaneous seizure animal models, such as genetic absence epilepsy. 2. In the

Age-related changes in blood-brain barrier permeability were investigated during pentylenetetrazol-induced seizures in rats aged from 15 days to 120 days. Tracers such as [14C]sucrose and [3H]inulin which diffuse very slowly across the intact endothelium were simultaneously injected i.v. in rats

A patient with a hereditary deficiency of the second component of complement and discoid lupus erythematosus with features of systemic lupus erythematosus was studied. The propositus had a 9-year history of rash and arthralgia. Transient renal disease had completely resolved; there was a history of

Thirteen adult Rhesus monkeys were repeatedly perfused through the ventriculocisternal or ventriculolumbar spaces with Elliott's B solution containing various concentrations of methotrexate (MTX) and trace amounts of [3H]MTX and [carboxy-14C]inulin. The concentrations of MTX ranged from 4.8 to 0.15

Three adolescent patients with severe seizure disorders were treated with phenacemide. All three patients showed elevated serum creatinine and normal blood urea nitrogen values while on phenacemide. Simultaneous urea and creatinine clearance studies performed on each patient demonstrated normal urea

The after-effects of renal function were studied in rats exposed to hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) at either 4.8 ATA for 60 min or 6.8 ATA until the onset of convulsions. Only the rats which suffered from HBO convulsions were found to have alterations in renal function. It was observed that 4 hr after
