homovanillic acid and Seizures

homovanillic acid has been researched along with Seizures in 34 studies

Homovanillic Acid: A 3-O-methyl ETHER of (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acetic acid.
homovanillate : A hydroxy monocarboxylic acid anion which is obtained by deprotonation of the carboxy group of homovanillic acid.
homovanillic acid : A monocarboxylic acid that is the 3-O-methyl ether of (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acetic acid. It is a catecholamine metabolite.

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.

( Black, KE; Kopanda, RT; Post, RM, 1976)
" Rats that did not become hyperthermic when dosed with 15 mg/kg AMPH in a cold environment (10 degrees C) exhibited some hyperactivity and stereotypic behavior, but not overt convulsive behavior."1.31Seizure activity and hyperthermia potentiate the increases in dopamine and serotonin extracellular levels in the amygdala during exposure to d-amphetamine. ( Bowyer, JF; Tor-Agbidye, J; Yamamoto, B, 2001)
"In the seizure animals, neurotransmitter metabolites remained at low levels, as if the hypoxia had continued after the period of ischemia, inhibiting monoamine oxidase activity and, perhaps, neurotransmitter recapture."1.29Temporal profile of aminergic neurotransmitter release in striatal dialysates in rats with post-ischemic seizures. ( Allain, H; Bellissant, E; Bentué-Ferrer, D; Decombe, R, 1994)
