摘要
Male Fischer-344 rats were injected i.p. with diethyldithiocarbamate or dithizone 15 min after kainic acid (KA), s.c. Diethyldithiocarbamate and dithizone reduced both the number of wer dog shakes and the latency to onset of seizures induced by KA. Moreover, they increased the severity of seizures. These compounds may be useful tools for investigating the role of zinc in central nervous system excitatory transmission and/or convulsive phenomena. © 1990.
