## Abstract Interictal brain energy metabolism and glutamateβglutamine cycling are impaired in epilepsy and may contribute to seizure generation. We used the zeroβflow microdialysis method to measure the extracellular levels of glutamate, glutamine, and the major energy substrates glucose and lacta
The levels of serotonin (5-HT), 5 hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), dopamine (DA), homovanillic acid (HVA), norepinephrine (NE), and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) activity were measured in the focus (spiking) and nonfocus (nonspiking) regions of the temporal neocortex of 20 patients with intractable co
At probenecid levels greater than 10 ~tg/ml, CSF cAMP was independent of CSF probenecid concentration. At these levels of probenecid, cAMP transport out of CSF is probably maximally blocked and cAMP levels reflect cAMP release into CSF. CSF cAMP was significantly higher in RDC-diagnosed schizophreni
