Human and experimental animal studies suggest a relationship between low Mn status and seizures. The genetically epilepsy prone rat (GEPR), which has low tissue Mn levels, was studied in the context of Mn supplementation. Manganese was provided at 45 pg/g diet (control) or 1000 pg/g diet (supplement

Acute administration (0.4-12 mumol/kg, i.p.) of the NMDA antagonist D(-)CPPene (3-(2-carboxypiperazin-4-yl)propenyl-1-phosphonic acid; molecular weight = 250.2) dose-dependently reduced the incidence of sound-induced clonic seizures in genetically epilepsy-prone (GEP) rats. The ED50 value against cl
Genetically epilepsy-prone rats (GEPRs) which display tonic seizures (GEPR-9s) in response to acoustic stimulation were used in these studies. Other laboratories have shown that CEPR-9s have a reduced concentration of brain norepinephrine (NE). Previous reports have also indicated that audiogenie se
An excitant amino acid (EAA), N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), induces susceptibility to seizures when bilaterally microinjected into subcortical auditory nuclei of normal rats. Thirty-five percent of animals exhibit only audiogenic seizures (AGS) after infusions of NMDA into inferior colliculus (IC). I
