Based on previous work examining the effects of dextroamphetamine on pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced clonic seizure threshold, the objective of the present study was to determine the effects of two other dopamine agonists, apomorphine (AP) and piribedil, on PTZ seizures.

โฆ Synopsis
Other psychological terms, such as apprehension, anxiety, and fear, will be used in this manuscript to describe more fu]ly the disturbed emotional state induced in these animals. The use of such terms is in agreement with the terminology appearing in current psyehopharmacologicM literature; an interesting justification for such anthropomorphic terms to describe certain aspects of animM behavior is presented by Sir JvLIAW HUXLEY (1961).

The effect of inhibiting endogenous brain thromboxane (TXB2) on pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures was studied using the thromboxane synthetase inhibitors OKY-1581 (20 mgikg) and UK 38,485 (50 mgikg). Both compounds selectively decreased ( > 90%) TXB2 production in brain measured after 2 min of con
The effects of an ethanol extract of the mature leaves of Annona muricata (Annonaceae), were investigated on pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced clonic-tonic seizures in mice. The latency of clonic PTZ seizures and the incidence of clonic and tonic episodes of PTZ seizures were analysed. The results dem
Both insulin, depending on the glycemic state, and nitric oxide (NO), depending on the experimental conditions, have been suggested to have either proconvulsant or anticonvulsant effects. It is also known that NO plays an important role in some of the peripheral effects of insulin. The aim of the pr
