Vigabatrin, as a single oral dose of 50 mg/kg, was administered to 11 patients with drug-refractory complex partial epilepsy. Serial lumbar punctures were performed prior to and 5 times within the first week following treatment. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of total GABA, free GABA, homo

The activities of gamma-aminobutyrate aminotransferase (GABA-T) and monoamine oxidase (MAO-A and -B) were measured in blood platelets from 27 patients and hippocampal tissues from eight (GABA-T) and ten (MAO) patients with complex partial seizures. The activity of platelet GABA-T was found to be hig
The effect of chronic administration of gamma-vinyl GABA (GVG; vigabatrin) on levels of neurotransmission-related amino compounds was studied in lumbar cerebrospinal fluid of 65 patients with complex partial epilepsy. The first sample of cerebrospinal fluid was taken before a 3-month period of treat
