orotic acid and Seizures

orotic acid has been researched along with Seizures in 13 studies

Orotic Acid: An intermediate product in PYRIMIDINE synthesis which plays a role in chemical conversions between DIHYDROFOLATE and TETRAHYDROFOLATE.
orotic acid : A pyrimidinemonocarboxylic acid that is uracil bearing a carboxy substituent at position C-6.

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
"We used the effect of ethanol on the convulsion threshold as model of injuriousness to analyse the CNS protective efficacy of nootropics."1.27[Effect of nootropic agents on the lowering of the spasm threshold after a single ethanol application]. ( Andreas, K; Dienel, A; Schmidt, J, 1984)
"The enhanced seizure susceptibility after a single dose of ethanol was abolished by piracetam and MGO."1.27Influence of nootropic drugs on drinking behaviour in ethanol-preferring mice and ethanol-induced increase of seizure susceptibility. ( Andreas, K; Dienel, A; Schmidt, J, 1985)
"Orotic aciduria was present (max: 693 mg/day) and was related to NH4 levels."1.25[Chronic hyperammonemia with orotic aciduria: evidence of pyrimidine pathway stimulation (author's transl)]. ( Beaudry, MA; Collu, R; Dallairf, L; Ducharme, JR; Leboeuf, G; Letarte, J; Melancon, SB, 1975)
