Effects of phosphatidylserine in an experimental model of generalized epilepsy
1984
: The possible antiepileptic activity of PS has been tested in a model of generalized epilepsy induced by penicillin in the cat. In acute experiments, topical application to the cortex of PS (from 20 mg/ml to 50 mg/ml) produced a reverse in the polarity of the spike and wave complex and, sometimes, a decrease in the voltage as well as a morphological deformation of s-w bursts. Chronic intraperitoneal administration of PS induced a decrease of the epileptic burst frequency. The effect was already apparent after 14 days and of greater extent after 21 days. Finally the antiepileptic effect of 0,2-0,5 mg/Kg diazepam, given in a single dose during the maximal epileptic activity resulted markedly reinforced in animals chronically treated with PS.
