Diazepam's impact on kainic acid seizure-induced local cerebral glucose utilization (LCGU) was assessed by a quantitative [14C]2-deoxyglucose method. Male rats were injected i.p. with either kainic acid (12 mg/kg) or its vehicle, 3 or 48 h before LCGU determination. Diazepam (3.2 mg/kg) or its vehicle were injected i.m. 15 min before, 1 and 2.5 h after kainic acid. Diazepam blocked kainic acid-induced overt convulsions, attenuated LCGU increases at 3 h and prevented 48 h LCGU decreases in piriform cortex and amygdala. LCGU in (% of vehicle): CA3 (438%), CA4 (537%) and CA1-ventral (340%) of hippocampus, interpeduncular nucleus (200%) and lateral lemniscus (213%) were still significantly above vehicle levels in the 3 h diazepam-kainic acid group. These results suggest that diazepam suppresses the spread of kainic acid-induced seizure activity from the proposed CA3 epileptogenic focus. In addition, diazepam reduces, but does not abolish, hypermetabolic activity at the foci itself.
通过定量[14C]2-脱氧葡萄糖法评估地西泮对 kainic 酸诱发癫痫发作所致局部脑葡萄糖利用(LCGU)的影响。在测定 LCGU 前 3 小时或 48 小时,给雄性大鼠腹腔注射 kainic 酸(12mg/kg)或其溶剂。在 kainic 酸注射前 15 分钟、注射后 1 小时和 2.5 小时,给大鼠肌肉注射地西泮(3.2mg/kg)或其溶剂。地西泮可阻断 kainic 酸诱发的明显惊厥,在 3 小时时减弱 LCGU 的增加,并防止梨状皮质和杏仁核在 48 小时时 LCGU 的降低。在 3 小时地西泮-kainic 酸组中,海马体的 CA3(438%)、CA4(537%)和 CA1-腹侧(340%)、脚间核(200%)和外侧丘系(213%)的 LCGU(相对于溶剂的百分比)仍显著高于溶剂组水平。这些结果表明,地西泮可抑制 kainic 酸诱发的癫痫活动从假定的 CA3 致痫灶的扩散。此外,地西泮可降低但不能消除病灶本身的高代谢活动。
