glycine and Muscle Spasticity

glycine has been researched along with Muscle Spasticity in 20 studies

Muscle Spasticity: A form of muscle hypertonia associated with upper MOTOR NEURON DISEASE. Resistance to passive stretch of a spastic muscle results in minimal initial resistance (a free interval) followed by an incremental increase in muscle tone. Tone increases in proportion to the velocity of stretch. Spasticity is usually accompanied by HYPERREFLEXIA and variable degrees of MUSCLE WEAKNESS. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p54)

"To determine whether the naturally occurring amino acid threonine, a potential precursor for glycine biosynthesis in the spinal cord, has an effect on spasticity in multiple sclerosis, 26 ambulatory patients were entered into a randomized crossover trial."9.07An antispasticity effect of threonine in multiple sclerosis. ( Doolittle, TH; Growdon, J; Hauser, SL; Lehrich, JR; Lopez-Bresnahan, M; Schoenfeld, D; Shahani, B; Shih, VE, 1992)
"To determine whether the naturally occurring amino acid threonine, a potential precursor for glycine biosynthesis in the spinal cord, has an effect on spasticity in multiple sclerosis, 26 ambulatory patients were entered into a randomized crossover trial."5.07An antispasticity effect of threonine in multiple sclerosis. ( Doolittle, TH; Growdon, J; Hauser, SL; Lehrich, JR; Lopez-Bresnahan, M; Schoenfeld, D; Shahani, B; Shih, VE, 1992)
"The term cerebral palsy is restricted to non-progressive disorders of motor function, already observed at an early age and due to cerebral lesions."2.37[Functional neurosurgery of cerebral palsy]. ( Alexandre, F; Angelini, L; Benezech, J; Broggi, G; Claverie, P; Deonna, T; Frerebeau, P; Lazorthes, Y; Siegfried, J; Verdie, JC, 1985)
"Spinal cord injury-induced spasticity, in the tail musculature, does not appear to involve either an increase in monosynaptic glutamatergic inputs from myelinated afferents or a decrease in glycinergic inputs to sacrocaudal motoneurons."1.34VGLUT1 and GLYT2 labeling of sacrocaudal motoneurons in the spinal cord injured spastic rat. ( Kitzman, P, 2007)
"Thus, in spastic, GlyRs are functionally normal but reduced in number, whereas in spasmodic, GlyR kinetics is faster."1.33Distinct physiological mechanisms underlie altered glycinergic synaptic transmission in the murine mutants spastic, spasmodic, and oscillator. ( Callister, RJ; Graham, BA; Margrie, TW; Sah, P; Schofield, PR, 2006)
"However, the overall structure of the spastic mutant retina was not disrupted because the distribution and intensity of both a presynaptic marker (synaptophysin) and a marker for the rod bipolar cell (protein kinase C) in the mutant retina were indistinguishable from those in normal retinas."1.29Glycine receptors in the retinas of normal and spastic mutant mice. ( Becker, CM; Grünert, U; Kirsch, J; Pinto, LH; Studholme, K; Yazulla, S, 1994)
"The role of glycine in spasticity and spinal shock was explored further in rabbits with ischemic spinal cord injuries that produced spastic paraparesis or flaccid paraplegia."1.29The role of glycine in spinal shock. ( Goodman, JC; Robertson, CS; Simpson, RK, 1996)
"Some of the clinical signs of spasticity improved in the animals injected with glycine compared to the saline-injected controls."1.26Effects of glycine administration on canine experimental spinal spasticity and the levels of glycine, glutamate, and aspartate in the lumbar spinal cord. ( Campbell, RL; Galvin, MR; Hall, PV; Jones, AR; Smith, JE, 1979)
