Application of penicillin solution to the motor cortex in rats evoked the appearance of interictal discharges and epileptic seizures. After administration of diazepam in a dose of 2 mg/kg, Na,K-ATPase activity in the unpurified synaptosomes fraction of the cortex in the zone of the focus was increased by practically 100% compared with the level of activity of the enzyme in the focus without diazepam. Interictal discharges and epileptic seizures underwent different changes following intramuscular injection of diazepam. The frequency and variability of amplitude of the interictal discharges increased after administration of diazepam, whereas epileptic seizures were depressed. This effect was potentiated with an increase in the dose of diazepam. It is suggested that the opposite action of diazepam on epileptic seizures and interictal discharges may be evidence that the mechanisms lying at the basis of the development of these phenomena are different.Institute of General Pathology and Pathological Physiology, Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR, Moscow.

The influence of Ro 15-1788 and bicuculline on the action of GABA-positive drugs (muscimol), GABA cethyl ester, piracetam and depakine and benzodiazepine tranquilizers (diazepam, phenazepam) on motivated aggression has been studied. It has been shown that Ro 15-1788 which has a weak antiaggressive effect selectively antagonizes the anti-aggressive effect of tranquilizers but not that of GABA-positive drugs. Bicuculline antagonizes antiaggressive activity of the drugs of both types. The action of these antagonists on the effect of the drugs under study as regards the analgetic activity of morphine was also studied. It has been shown that Ro 15-1788 antagonizes the potentiation of morphine analgesia caused by diazepam. At the same time Ro 15-1788 does not influence morphine analgesia potentiated by muscimol. Bicuculline removes the potentiation of morphine analgesia caused both by diazepam and muscimol it is concluded that bicuculline-sensitive GABA receptors modulate the antiaggressive effect of benzodiazepines and their influence on the analgetic action of opiates. 相似文献

In adrenal cortex and other steroidogenic tissues including glial cells, the conversion of cholesterol into pregnenolone is catalyzed by the cytochrome P450scc located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. A complex mechanism operative in regulating cholesterol access to P450scc limits the rate of pregnenolone biosynthesis. Participating in this mechanism are DBI (diazepam binding inhibitor), an endogenous peptide that is highly expressed in steroidogenic cells and some of the DBI processing products including DBI 17–50 (TTN). DBI and TTN activate steroidogenesis by binding to a specific receptor located in the outer mitochondrial membrane, termed mitochondrial DBI receptor complex (MDRC). MDRC is a hetero-oligomeric protein: only the subunit that includes the DBI and benzodiazepine (BZD) recognition sites has been cloned. Several 2-aryl-3-indoleacetamide derivatives (FGIN-1-X) with highly selective affinity (nM) for MDRC were synthesized which can stimulate steroidogenesis in mitochondrial preparations. These compounds stimulate adrenal cortex steroidogenesis in hypophysectomized rats but not in intact animals. Moreover, this steroidogenesis is inhibited by the isoquinoline carboxamide derivative PK 11195, a specific high affinity ligand for MDRC with a low intrinsic steroidogenic activity. Some of the FGIN-1-X derivatives stimulate brain pregnenolone accumulation in adrenalectomized-castrated rats. The FGIN-1-X derivatives that increase brain pregnenolone content, elicit antineophobic activity and antagonize punished behavior in the Vogel conflict test in rats. These actions of FGIN-1-X are resistant to inhibition by flumazenil, a specific inhibitor of BZD action in GABAA receptors but are antagonized by PK 11195, a specific blocker of the steroidogenesis activation via MDRC stimulation. It is postulated that the pharmacological action of FGIN-1-X depends on a positive modulation of the GABA action on GABAA receptors mediated by the stimulation of brain neurosteroid production. 相似文献

A peptide-containing fraction was extracted from the ventral parts of the rat mesencephalon; donor animals had been subjected to kindling by repeated picrotoxin injections (1.0–1.2 mg/kg). Intraventricular administration of the extract (20 µg in 10 µl isotonic NaCl solution per animal) increased the manifestation of picrotoxin-induced (2.0 mg/kg) convulsions in the intact recipient rats; at the same time, injection of a hippocampal extract in the same doses did not produce such an effect. Proepileptic effects of the injected extract from the ventral mesencephalic region (VMR) tissue were removed by naloxone (1.0 mg/kg) injection. A decrease of -endorphin, met-enkephalin, and -sleep-inducing peptide content in the VMR tissue and the hippocampus has been found in kindling-subjected animals.Translated from Neirofiziologiya, Vol. 25, No. 2, pp. 115–119, March–April, 1993. 相似文献

The Diazepam-binding inhibitor (DBI) levels were studied under stress-reaction condition and after diazepam and N6-cyclohexyladenosine injections. The radioimmune method was used to study the DBI levels. It was shown, that DBI level increased during stress-reaction. Diazepam and N6-cyclohexyladenosine injection decreased DBI level in these conditions. On the basis of these data the authors proposed the hypothetic model of interaction between adenosine receptors and GABA-Benzodiazepine-receptor complex. 相似文献

In experiments on Wistar male rats it was shown that i.p. administration of verapamil or ryodipine (1,4-dihydropyridine) 15 min before each daily injection of pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) in a subconvulsive dose 30 mg/kg during 28 days significantly delayed the development of PTZ-induced kindling and attenuated kindled seizure reactions during 21-23 days as compared with control. One week after kindling an increase in free Ca2+ concentration in control rat brain synaptosomes by 60% was revealed; the treatment by verapamil and ryodipine prevented this increase. Nevertheless, Ca2+ antagonists studied at least under our experimental conditions inspite of a significant decrease in free Ca2+ concentration in synaptosomes would not completely prevent the development of kindling. Thus, an alteration in calcium homeostasis will not be the only mechanism of plasticity and long-term changes of neurons during kindling. 相似文献

Summary The effects of GABA-elevating agents were examined with respect to the cellular compartments in which GABA increases occurred and the brain region(s) that mediate the anticonvulsant activity of these compounds. Changes in GABA occurring in the presence and absence of GABAergic nerve terminals were estimated in vivo using rats in which the GABA projection to the substantia nigra (SN) was destroyed on one side of the brain. One week post-operatively, the GABA concentration in the denervated SN was 10–20% of control. The net increase in GABA content of the denervated SN was compared to that of the intact SN after intraperitoneal injection of amino-oxacetic acid (AOAA), di-n-propylacetate (DPA) and -vinyl GABA (GVG). In the intact SN, all drugs produced significant increases in GABA. In the denervated SN, both AOAA and GVG produced marked increases in GABA (nearly equivalent to those obtained in the intact SN) whereas DPA was without effect. It therefore appears that the DPA-induced elevation of GABA depends upon the presence of GABAergic nerve terminals whereas AOAA and GVG primarily elevate GABA in non-nerve terminal compartments. An increase in GABA associated with nerve terminals was obtained with GVG only after a latency of more than 12 h following a single injection. The time course of elevation of nerve terminal-associated GABA coincided with the time course of anticonvulsant action of GVG; both effects were maximal at 60 h after a single injection. Taken together, our results indicate that the ability of DPA, AOAA and GVG to protect against chemically- and electrically-induced seizures is directly correlated with increases in nerve terminal GABA and not related to increases in other GABA compartments.Localization of the anatomical site that mediates anticonvulsant activity was examined using intracerebral injections of GVG into fore-, mid-and hindbrain areas. Blockade of tonic hindlimb extension in the maximal electroshock test and blockade of tonic and clonic seizures produced by pentylenetetrazol and bicuculline was obtained by microinjection of GVG (10 µg) into the ventral tegmental area of the midbrain. Injections of GVG (10–40 µg) into forebrain areas (striatum, thalamus) or into hindbrain (pontine tegmentum) were without anticonvulsant activity. Anticonvulsant effects of midbrain GVG were correlated with GABA elevation (3–4 fold) within a 1.5 mm radius of the injection site; these effects were obtained within 6 h and lasted three to four days after a single treatment. After four days seizure activity returned to control. No changes in spontaneous motor activity or reflexes accompanied the GVG injections. Similar but shorter lasting anticonvulsant effects were obtained with the direct GABA receptor agonist muscimol (50 ng) injected into the midbrain site. On the other hand, doses of muscimol up to 500 ng placed in the rostral pontine tegmentum were without anticonvulsant effect, despite the appearance of marked sedation.The time to peak anticonvulsant activity after midbrain microinjection of GVG (6 h) was considerably more rapid than that after intraperitoneal injection (60 h). Compartmental analysis revealed that nerve terminal associated GABA was elevated by 6 h after GVG when the direct microinjection route was used. These results suggest that GABAergic synapses in the midbrain may be critically involved in the control of seizure propagation. 相似文献

Levels of thiobarbituric acid (TBA)-reactive material were measured in brain regions of 3–4 monthold rats following prenatal exposure to several benzodiazepine (BDZ) receptor ligands over gestational days 14–20. Prenatal exposure to diazepam (DZ) at 1.0 mg/kg/day markedly elevated levels of brain TBA-reactive material while exposure to a higher dose (2.5 mg/kg) induced a significant increase only in the hippocampus. Early exposure to the central-type BDZ agonist clonazepam as well as to the central-type antagonist Ro 15-1788 also increased brain levels of TBA-reactive material. Concurrent exposure to the higher dose of DZ partially attenuated the effect of Ro 15-1788. Prenatal exposure to the peripheral-type BDZ ligand PK11195 produced a profound increase in TBA-reactive products in all regions, and concurrent DZ exposure did not attentuate this effect, except in the basal ganglia. Measurement of TBA-reactive material.from birth to 3 months indicated that the effect of prenatal exposure to DZ was not apparent until after 8 weeks of age. Acute in vitro exposure of adult and fetal tissue to DZ had no effect on TBA-reactive material. The results suggest an interference in the organization of cellular metabolism in the brain by developmental exposure to BDZ ligands. 相似文献

Six non-steroidal agents having the property of being able to inhibit prostaglandin (PG) biosynthesis or action were tested for their ability to affect systolic blood pressure in unanesthetized normotensive (WKY) and Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats (SHR). In WKY and pre-hypertensive young SHR, s.c. injection of indomethacin (1.0 mg/kg) had no significant effect on blood pressure measured 30 minutes after injection. In older SHR, indomethacin (15 mg/kg) caused a significant pressor response, while in age - matched WKY, this dose had no significant effect. Indomethacin also showed a prohypertensive action in 10–14, 23–38 and 23–27 week old SHR with doses of 1.0 and 3.0 mg/kg, respectively. Tiaramide (5 mg/kg), ETYA (5 mg/kg), tolmetin (25 mg/kg), and meclofanamate (15 mg/kg) caused a significant elevation of blood pressure in mature (7–8 month old) SHR. Age matched WKY showed no significant response to the same doses of these four agents. Fenoprofen (75 mg/kg) caused a significant elevation in pressure in 12–13 week old SHR which persisted for at least 2 hours. Tiaramide had no significant effect on pre-hypertensive SHR. The results are consistent with the concept that inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis may result in a diminished turnover of antihypertensive prostaglandins in SHR which are being elaborated in response to the hypertensive state. In normal rats and pre-hypertensive SHR, inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis or function may not result in a hypertensive response since pro-hypertensive factors either are absent, or other antihypertensive substances may still predominate to help maintain normal blood pressure. 相似文献

The changes in the background activity (BA) of neurons of the central gray substance upon the iontophoretic application of serotonin (ST) to them in a concentration of 1·10–4 mole/liter, and following the blockage of its synthesis by pchlorophenylalanine (PCPA), were investigated in hexenal-anesthetized rats. The application of ST led to changes in the BA only in group III neurons, in which the BA was distinguished by continuous action potential generation. The application of ST elicited an increase in the frequency of the BA in 21.2% of such neurons, suppression in 45.5%, and the BA remained unchanged in 33.3% of the units. The identified changes in the BA in these neurons coincided with those which arose as the result of stimulation of the monoaminergic structures. When the application of ST was combined with stimulation of the locus coeruleus (LC), the substantia nigra (SN), and the nucleus raphe magnus (NRM), the suppression of the BA was intensified; however, when the LS and the SN were stimulated, the suppression was more pronounced than with stimulation of the NRM. The intensity of the suppressant effect of the NRM decreased after preliminary administration of PCPA, but it did not disappear completely, and the influences elicited by the LS and the SN intensified. The mechanisms of the serotoninergic control of the activity of the neurons of the central gray substance are discussed.A. A. Bogomolets Institute of Physiology, Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, Kiev.

The present study sought to examine the mechanism of substance P to modulate the antinociceptive action of intrathecal (i.t.) morphine in paw-licking/biting response evoked by subcutaneous injection of capsaicin into the plantar surface of the hindpaw in mice. The i.t. injection of morphine inhibited capsaicin-induced licking/biting response in a dose-dependent manner. Substance P (25 and 50 pmol) injected i.t. alone did not alter capsaicin-induced nociception, whereas substance P at a higher dose of 100 pmol significantly reduced the capsaicin response. Western blots showed the constitutive expression of endopeptidase-24.11 in the dorsal and ventral parts of lumbar spinal cord of mice. The N-terminal fragment of substance P (1–7), which is known as a major product of substance P by endopeptidase-24.11, was more effective than substance P on capsaicin-induced nociception. Combination treatment with substance P (50 pmol) and morphine at a subthreshold dose enhanced the antinociceptive effect of morphine. The enhanced effect of the combination of substance P with morphine was reduced significantly by co-administration of phosphoramidon, an inhibitor of endopeptidase-24.11. Administration of d-isomer of substance P (1–7), [d-Pro2, d-Phe7]substance P (1–7), an inhibitor of [3H] substance P (1–7) binding, or antisera against substance P (1–7) reversed the enhanced antinociceptive effect by co-administration of substance P and morphine. Taken together these data suggest that morphine-induced antinociception may be enhanced through substance P (1–7) formed by the enzymatic degradation of i.t. injected substance P in the spinal cord. 相似文献

Summary Xanthan production by a strain ofX. campestris was maintained longer under glucose—limited than nitrogen—limited conditions in continuous culture. The turnover Q was 12 at lower pH(5.0–6.0) and 6.5 at neutral pH; xanthan productivity was comparable at both pH in nitrogen—limited continuous cultures. In the Fe—rich continuous fermentation cell degeneration did not occur for 65 turnovers whereas in the Fe—deficient fermentation it occurred in 12 turnovers. The culture stability for xanthan formation is higher under conditions which are favorable for cell growth with limited xanthan production. 相似文献

This investigation characterised the effects of exogenous insulin on exocrine pancreatic secretion in anaesthetised healthy and diabetic rats. Animals were rendered diabetic by a single injection of streptozotocin (STZ, 60 mg kg–1 I.P.). Age-matched controls were injected citrate buffer. Rats were tested for hyperglycaemia 4 days after STZ injection and 7–8 weeks later when they were used for the experiments. Following anaesthesia (1 g kg–1 urethane I.P.), laparotomy was performed and the pancreatic duct cannulated for collection of pure pancreatic juice. Basal pancreatic juice flow rate in diabetic rats was significantly (p < 0.001) increased whereas protein and amylase outputs were significantly (p < 0.001) decreased compared to control rats. Insulin (1 IU, I.P.) produced in healthy rats significant increases in pancreatic flow rate, amylase secretion and protein output compared to basal (p < 0.05). Insulin action also included a reduction in blood glucose (152.7 ± 16.9 mg dl–1, n= 6, prior to insulin and 42.0 ± 8.4 mg dl–1, n= 4, 100 min later). In fact, flow rate and glycaemia showed a strong negative correlation (p < 0.01, Pearson). Pretreatment with atropine (0.2 mg kg–1, I.V.) abolished the effects of insulin on secretory parameters despite a similar reduction in glycaemia; in this series of experiments the correlation between flow rate and blood glucose was lost. In diabetic rats, insulin (4 IU, I.P.) did not modify exocrine pancreatic secretion. There was a fall in blood glucose (467.6 ± 14.0 mg dl–1, n= 10, prior to insulin and 386.6 ± 43.6 mg dl–1, n= 7, 120 min later). Rats, however, did not become hypoglycaemic. Similar results were observed in diabetic atropinized rats. The results of this study indicate that the effects of insulin on exocrine pancreatic secretion in anaesthetised healthy rats are mediated by hypoglycaemia-evoked vagal cholinergic activation.

The effect of diazepam on paroxysmal global electrical activity of a neuronally isolated slab of auditory cortex and on inhibitory responses of its neurons due to intracortical electrical stimulation was investigated in cats. Diazepam (2 mg/kg, intravenously) caused inhibition of paroxysmal electrical activity and increased the number of inhibited neurons in both the acutely isolated slab and three weeks after isolation, compared with the intact cortex. However, the number of disynaptic responses was reduced under these circumstances, especially in the long-isolated slab. It is postulated that diazepam exerts its action through activation of GABA-ergic inhibitory neurons, by synchronizing inhibition and increasing the duration of the IPSPs. The action of diazepam is manifested first, probably, in the initial links of cortical neuron chains.I. I. Mechnikov Odessa State University.

Intramuscular injection of diazepam to rats at doses of 0.01 and 2 mg/kg 25-30 min after penicillin application to the rat brain cortex leads to alteration of periodic appearance of epileptic seizures (ES), to changes in the seizure pattern, and to emergence of periodic acceleration of epileptiform discharges (ED). Injection of diazepam at a dose of 2 mg/kg 20 min before penicillin application results in the reduction of ED latency in the epileptogenic focus and in a decrease in their frequency before seizures as compared to the control animals without diazepam injection. ES appear irregularly, their quantity is markedly reduced while duration is increased. Diazepam injection leads to disappearance of the rat moving reaction during ER and ES. In vivo experiments diazepam (2 mg/kg) does not influence brain cortex Na, K-ATPase of crude synaptosomes. However, diazepam leads to an increase in Na, K-ATPase activity both in the primary and dependent secondary epileptogenic foci. It is suggested that the anticonvulsant action of diazepam may be underlain by its activating effect on Na, K-ATPase of neuronal membranes in the epileptogenic focus. 相似文献

The ionic mechanism of the exciting action of catecholamines — nonadrenalin and adrenalin — on the muscle cells of the portal vein of the rat was investigated by the method of a double "sucrose bridge." To determine the role of various ions in the action of catecholamines, they were removed from Krebs solution and replaced by other ions. In muscle cells kept in sodium-free Krebs solution, just as under normal conditions, the catecholamines induced depolarization of the membrane, an increase in the spontaneous electrical activity, an increase in the excitability, and a decrease in the amplitude of the electrotonic potentials (ETP), i.e., the resistance of the membrane. The exciting action of catecholamines on muscle cells also did not cease after the removal of Ca++ from solution. This action of them was not manifested only in the case when Na+ and Ca++ were removed simultaneously from the surrounding solution. Thus, the exciting action of noradrenalin and adrenalin on muscle cells of the portal vein is due to a decrease in the permeability of the cell membrane for Na+ and Ca++ in a definite quantitative ratio.A.

Role of Glutamate and GABA Transporters in Development of Pentylenetetrazol-Kindling 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Kindling is a form of epileptogenesis that can be induced with pentylenetetrazol (PTZ). We undertook this study to evaluate
the contribution of glutamate and GABA transporters to the process of PTZ kindling. Rats were injected i.p. three times per
week with PTZ (40 mg/kg) until they were fully kindled. In rats who achieved full kindling, measurement of hippocampal glutamate
and GABA transporters within 24 h by western blot showed that GLAST, GLT-1, and EAAC1 were elevated significantly. However,
fully kindled rats at 30 days after their last seizure had no change in either glutamate or GABA transporters proteins. These
sequential observations suggest that glutamate transporters may contribute to the occurrence of seizures, but were not associated
with maintenance of epileptogenesis. During this experiment, we collected data from animals that had kindled easily and animals
who were resistant to kindling. Easily-kindled rats reached full kindling with less than five injections of PTZ. Kindling
resistant animals failed to achieve full kindling even after administration of 12 consecutive injections of PTZ. Levels of
EAAC1 and GAT-1 in easily-kindled rats were decreased by 30% when compared to kindling resistant animals at 30 days after
the last PTZ injection. Since decreased EAAC1 and GAT-1 would diminish GABA function, less quantity of these proteins would
appear to be associated with the convulsive threshold at the beginning of kindling development. We wonder if glutamate and
GABA transporters might be operant in a convulsion threshold set factor or as a pace factor for kindling. 相似文献

Neuropeptide S (NPS) has been recently identified as the endogenous ligand of a previously orphan G-protein-coupled receptor now named NPSR. Both NPS and its receptor are expressed in the brain, where they modulate different functions. In particular, it has been demonstrated that intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of NPS in rodents increases wakefulness and promotes anxiolytic-like effects. In the present study we used the defensive burying (DB) test in rats to further investigate the action of human NPS (0.1–10 nmol, i.c.v.) on anxiety-related behaviors. Diazepam (1.5 mg/kg, i.p.) and caffeine (20 mg/kg, i.p.) were used in parallel experiments as standard anxiolytic and anxiogenic drugs, respectively. None of the tested drugs produced statistical differences in the latency to contact the probe, burying behavior latency, number of shocks received or immobility/freezing duration. Caffeine increased cumulative burying behavior and the buried bedding height in a statistically significant manner thus promoting anxiogenic like effects. Opposite results were obtained with diazepam that significantly reduced these behavioral parameters. The anxiolytic-like action of diazepam was mimicked by NPS that reduced cumulative burying behavior in a dose dependent manner. Collectively, robust anxiolytic-like effects were recorded in response to NPS in the DB test. These results are of particular interest since the outcome of this assay is marginally influenced by drug effects on locomotor activity. In conclusion, we provide further evidence that NPS evokes genuine anxiolytic-like effects in the rat; therefore NPSR selective agonists are worthy of development as innovative drugs for the treatment of anxiety disorders. 相似文献

Comparative study of the effect of 3-carboxy-beta-carboline methylamide and diazepam on rat behavior

The effects of benzodiazepine receptor agonist, diazepam, and inverse agonist, FG 7142, were examined. Strong antagonism between FG 7142 (10 mg/kg) and diazepam (1 mg/kg) activity was revealed in the open field test. On the other hand, both FG 7142 and diazepam inhibited isolation-induced intraspecies aggressive behaviour of rats. FG 7142 also reduced interspecies aggression of mouse-killing rats. The findings suggest that both diazepam and FG 7142 have antiaggressive properties in the isolation-induced aggression model, which are mediated by benzodiazepine receptors of the central nervous system. 相似文献

A rapid method was developed for the determination of diazepam and nordiazepam (N-desmethyldiazepam) in human plasma using electron capture gas—liquid chromatography (GLC—ECD). The concentration of diazepam and nordiazepam is determined using 0.5 ml of plasma extracted with 1.0 ml of benzene containing 25 ng/ml of methylnitrazepam as the internal standard. The benzene extract is removed and an aliquot is subjected to automated GLC—ECD analysis. The method has a sensitivity limit of 5 ng diazepam and 10 ng nordiazepam per milliliter of plasma. The method was used to determine the plasma levels in man following the first 5-mg diazepam dose, as well as during chronic oral administration of 5 mg diazepam three times daily and 15 mg diazepam once a day. 相似文献
