Elicitation of cyclic AMP accumulation by norepinephrine in the iron-induced epileptogenic cerebral cortex of rats.
Year: 1983
Type: article
Abstract: A microinjection of ferric chloride solution into the left frontal cortex of rats induced epileptic discharges which were recorded by electrocorticography. In animals having such electrographic seizure activity 30 to 60 days after the injection, the accumulation of cyclic AMP elicited by norepinephrine was examined in slices from four cortical regions. The accumulation was significantly greater in the left anterior area, into which region the ferric chloride solution was injected, than in the right anterior area. There was also a tendency for greater norepinephrine-elicited accumulation of cyclic AMP to occur in the left posterior area than in the right posterior area.
