In vivo imaging of epileptic activity using 2-NBDG, a fluorescent deoxyglucose analog.
    Journal of neuroscience methods, 2012, Jan-15, Volume: 203, Issue:1

    Accurately locating epileptic foci has great importance in advancing the treatment of epilepsy. In this study, epileptic seizures were first induced by intracortical injection of 4-aminopyridine in rats. A fluorescent deoxyglucose substitute, 2-(N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)amino)-2-deoxyglucose (2-NBDG), was then continuously injected via the tail vein. Brain glucose metabolism was subsequently monitored by fluorescence imaging of 2-NBDG. The initial uptake rate of 2-NBDG at the injection site of 4-aminopyridine significantly exceeded that of the control injection site, which indicated local hypermetabolism induced by seizures. Our results show that 2-NBDG can be used for localizing epileptic foci.

[Effect of Chaihu Shugan Tang on excitability in different brain regions of pentylenetetrazole-kindled chronic epileptic rats].
    Zhongguo Zhong yao za zhi = Zhongguo zhongyao zazhi = China journal of Chinese materia medica, 2010, Volume: 35, Issue:12

    To study the effect of the Chinese compound prescription Chaihu Shugan Tang (CHSGT) on the excitability in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus (different brain regions) of pentetrazole (PTZ)-kindled chronic epileptic rats.. To establish the model of chronic kindling rats intraperitoneal injected with pentylenetet. Fully kindled rats were randomized into control and experimental groups for intragastric administration of normal saline (control, model), Sodium Valproate and CHSGT at the high, medium and low doses for 4 consecutive weeks. The content of 2-NBDG, the glutamate (Glu) and the aspartate (Asp) in different brain regions of rats were detected by fluorescence imaging techniques and HPLC assay respectively.. CHSGT at the high, medium and low doses all significantly decreased the content of 2-NBDG, the Glu and the Asp in different brain regions of chronic epileptic rats (P < 0.01).. CHSGT can inhibit the excitability in different brain regions of PTZ-induced epileptic rats, by decreasing the level of excitatory neurotransmitter maybe one of its antiepileptic mechanisms.
