Superoxide dismutase and catalase activities in the retina during experimental diabetes and electric stimulation of the paleocerebellar cortex.

In 1.5 months after modeling of streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus, superoxide dismutase and catalase activities decreased by 40.7 and 32.

[Using deltalicin for the treatment of patients with diabetic retinopathy].

The characteristics of visual evoked potential (VEP) have been investigated in a group of 15 healthy volunteers (aged 31.7 ± 3.6 years) and 30 insulin-dependent patients (aged 32.

Specificity of action of epileptogenic agents in diazepam-tolerant rats.

The development of tolerance in rats by repeated intraperitoneal injection of 0.5 mg/kg diazepam increased the sensitivity of the frontal cortex to the epileptogenic effect of NMDA and kainic acid. The median effective dose of NMDA was shown to decrease under these conditions.

Effects interferon-2alpha on seizures in corasol-induced kindling.

Intracerebroventricular injection of recombinant human interferon-2alpha (100-500 U/rat) decreased the mean effective dose of corasol inducing clonic convulsions in 50% kindled Wistar rats. This effect was more pronounced in delayed periods of kindling and was accompanied by enhancement of epileptiform signs on EEG.

The effects of L-DOPA and transcranial magnetic stimulation on behavioral reactions in kindled rats.

Acute experiments were performed on rats to produce a model of chronic epileptic activity--pharmacological kindling by repeated doses of picrotoxin (1.0-1.2 mg/kg, i.
