barbital and Seizures

barbital has been researched along with Seizures in 51 studies

5,5-diethylbarbituric acid : A member of the class of barbiturates, the structure of which is that of barbituric acid substituted at C-5 by two ethyl groups. Formerly used as a hypnotic (sleeping aid).

Seizures: Clinical or subclinical disturbances of cortical function due to a sudden, abnormal, excessive, and disorganized discharge of brain cells. Clinical manifestations include abnormal motor, sensory and psychic phenomena. Recurrent seizures are usually referred to as EPILEPSY or seizure disorder.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The effective doses of these compounds were lower than those required to prevent seizures due to NMDA in naive animals; these were in turn lower than those needed to prevent the convulsive effects of the alpha-aminobutyric acid (GABA) antagonist, bicuculline."3.69Possible involvement of NMDA receptor-mediated transmission in barbiturate physical dependence. ( Butterworth, AR; Little, HJ; Rabbani, M; Wright, J; Zhou, Q, 1994)
"Following withdrawal from chronic barbital administration, 6-hydroxydopamine pretreated rats show a greater number and an earlier onset of spontaneous convulsive seizures than do rats pretreated with the saline-ascorbic acid vehicle."3.65Effect of 6-hydroxydopamine pretreatment on spontaneous convulsions induced by barbital withdrawal. ( Morgan, WW, 1976)
"Barbital treated rats were divided into convulsing and non-convulsing groups."1.28Nerve growth factor (NGF) in rat brain following long-term barbital treatment: relation to convulsions and cognitive function. ( Archer, T; Lärkfors, L; Wahlström, G, 1992)
"In animals which had spontaneous seizures, 4- to 6-Hz bursts occurred in the motor cortex, whereas this abnormality did not occur in the motor cortex in animals which did not have spontaneous generalized seizures."1.27Cortical and subcortical EEG patterns during moderate-intensity barbiturate withdrawal. ( Hinman, DJ; Okamoto, M, 1984)
" The "low" level chronic dosing merely prolonged the time required to develop physical dependence of severity comparable to that produced by shorter durations of "high" level chronic dosing."1.27Physical dependence produced by long duration, low dose chronic barbital treatment. ( Hinman, DJ; Okamoto, M, 1984)
"Nine convulsions occurred in 29 rats withdrawn from barbital and infused intracerebroventricularly with APH, this contrasted markedly with 61 convulsions seen in 29 animals withdrawn from the drug and infused with saline."1.272-Amino-7-phosphonoheptanoic acid, a selective antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate, prevents barbital withdrawal-induced convulsions and the elevation of cerebellar cyclic GMP in dependent rats. ( McCaslin, PP; Morgan, WW, 1987)
" Withdrawal of barbital induced a significant leftward displacement of the dose-response curves obtained for the convulsive effects of strychnine, picrotoxin and 3-mercaptopropionic acid."1.27Central nervous system supersensitivity and withdrawal from long-term treatment with barbital. ( Palermo-Neto, J; Sandoval, MR, 1985)
" The controls were comprised of naive rats (G-VI) and naive rats dosed in the same manner as the dependent rats."1.26Participant of serotonin turnover rate in the brain on barbital withdrawal convulsion. ( Hiramori, T; Nakao, K; Tagashira, E; Urano, T; Yanaura, S, 1982)
"Prior to the maximum abstinence convulsions the QNB binding was higher in rats without recorded spontaneous convulsions in comparison to rats with convulsions."1.26Changes in populations of cholinergic binding sites in brain after chronic exposure to barbital in rats. ( Nordberg, A; Wahlström, G, 1982)
"For the former, the MES test, clonic seizures induced by pentylenetetrazol, 90 mg/kg, s."1.26Differential selectivity of several barbiturates on experimental seizures and neurotoxicity in the mouse. ( Blake, GJ; Gilbert, MB; Raines, A; Richardson, B, 1979)
"The barbital treatment induced a clear tolerance to the hexobarbital, which still could be detected on day 28 of abstinence."1.26The effects of atropine on the tolerance and the convulsions seen after withdrawal from forced barbital drinking in the rat. ( Wahlström, G, 1978)
"Rats exposed to chronic intake of sodium barbital maintained high circulating levels of barbital in blood and brain and exhibited increased sensitivity ot audiogenic convulsions during the withdrawal period."1.26Changes in brain levels of cyclic nucleotides and gamma-aminobutyric acid in barbiturate dependence and withdrawal. ( Hawkins, TD; Kant, GJ; Lenox, RH; Meyerhoff, JL; Wray, HL, 1979)
"Barbital solution was given as the only drinking fluid to male rats for 50 weeks (daily dose around 200 mg/kg)."1.26Activity pattern and convulsions in the abstinence period after barbital treatment in the rat. ( Larsson, R; Wahlström, G, 1977)
"Barbital was assayed by gas chromatography."1.26Osmotic minipumps for administration of barbital to mice: demonstration of functional tolerance and physical dependence. ( Goldstein, DB; Siew, C, 1978)
"The effect of electrically induced convulsions was tested on the tolerance to hexobarbital after chronic barbital treatment in male rats."1.26The interaction between electrically induced convulsions and tolerance in the abstinence period after chronic barbital treatments in the rat. ( Wahlström, G, 1976)
" Principal features of the complex results include: double peaks in the time course of convulsion thresholds (Pc); an early peak and a shoulder in the time course of pressures reversing anesthesia (Pa); far steeper dose-response curves for Pa than for Pc; selectively greater anticonvulsant effect for phenobarbital than for the other barbiturates; and enhancement of Pa with simultaneous depression of Pc by reserpine in phenobarbital-pretreated mice."1.26Interaction of central nervous system effects of high pressures with barbiturates. ( Beaver, RW; Brauer, RW; Lahser, S, 1977)
