Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Studies of the effects of phenytoin on aggression have produced equivocal results primarily because of a lack of (1) common objective criterion measures of aggressive acts across studies; (2) rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria for selecting subjects; and (3) a nosologic basis for classifying different types of aggression."9.08The effects of phenytoin on impulsive and premeditated aggression: a controlled study. ( Barratt, ES; Felthous, AR; Kent, TA; Stanford, MS, 1997)
"Phenytoin is a widely used anticonvulsant drug that also reduces aggressive behavior."5.31Phenytoin inhibits isolation-induced aggression specifically in rats with low serotonin. ( Keele, NB, 2001)
"Adenosine is an inhibitor of neuronal activity in the brain."5.31Grafts of adenosine-releasing cells suppress seizures in kindling epilepsy. ( Aebischer, P; Boison, D; Déglon, N; Huber, A; Möhler, H; Padrun, V, 2001)

( Barratt, ES; Felthous, AR; Kent, TA; Stanford, MS, 1997)
"Sodium phenobarbitone (20 and 70 mg/kg) had a significant anticonvulsant action against pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures, which persisted for 21 days of treatment."3.68Changes in seizure threshold and aggression during chronic treatment with three anticonvulsants and on drug withdrawal. ( File, SE; Wilks, LJ, 1990)
"Nortriptyline was reported in one study as superior for men with alcohol dependency on mean number of drinking days and on alcohol dependence, but not for severity of alcohol misuse or on the patient's or clinician's rating of drinking."2.46Pharmacological interventions for antisocial personality disorder. ( Duggan, C; Ferriter, M; Huband, N; Khalifa, N; Lieb, K; Stoffers, J; Völlm, BA, 2010)

"Diazepam was equally effective, and several times more potent than chlordiazepoxide."1.25Chlordiazepoxide and diazepam induced mouse killing by rats. ( Corcia, RM; Gay, PE; Lamon, S; Leaf, RC; Wnek, DJ, 1975)
