Platelet GABA-aminotransferase (GABA-T) activity was determined in 12 adults (six healthy volunteers and six long-term treated epileptic patients) and 17 children (six non-epileptic, and 11 long-term treated epileptic patients). Platelet GABA-T activity was about 60% higher in the epileptic patients than in the controls, both in adults (14.7 +/- 8.6 versus 8.8 +/- 3.5 pmol/min/mg of protein,) and children (13.1 +/- 4.8 versus 8.3 +/- 3.3 pmol/min/mg of protein, p less than 0.05). The relationship between this increase and either epilepsy or anti-epileptic treatment should be clarified in further studies.
测定了12名成年人(6名健康志愿者和6名长期接受治疗的癫痫患者)和17名儿童(6名非癫痫患者和11名长期接受治疗的癫痫患者)的血小板γ-氨基丁酸转氨酶(GABA-T)活性。无论是在成年人中(14.7±8.6对8.8±3.5 pmol/分钟/毫克蛋白质)还是儿童中(13.1±4.8对8.3±3.3 pmol/分钟/毫克蛋白质,p<0.05),癫痫患者的血小板GABA-T活性均比对照组高约60%。这种升高与癫痫或抗癫痫治疗之间的关系应在进一步研究中阐明。
