The effect of pyridoxal phosphate-induced convulsive seizures on rat brain phospholipid metabolism. 1984

G Arienti, and L Corazzi, and G L Piccinin, and R Roberti, and L Binaglia, and G Porcellati

The intraventricular injection of pyridoxal phosphate (PLP; 1 mumole/brain) to rats causes convulsive seizures beginning 3 min after injection and lasting for about 20 min. The incorporation of [2-3H] glycerol into rat brain glycerides has been studied to ascertain whether treatment with PLP affects the incorporation of label into various lipid classes. The labeling pattern of glycerides is changed by the administration of PLP. The observed alterations begin a few min after injection, together with the convulsive seizures. 1 h after the injection the pattern of labeling of brain glycerides returns to normal. Different glycerides are differently affected by PLP. This work demonstrates that the labeling of diglyceride increases whereas that of phosphatidylethanolamine decreases following PLP administration.

D010743 Phospholipids Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system. Phosphatides,Phospholipid
D011732 Pyridoxal Phosphate This is the active form of VITAMIN B 6 serving as a coenzyme for synthesis of amino acids, neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), sphingolipids, aminolevulinic acid. During transamination of amino acids, pyridoxal phosphate is transiently converted into pyridoxamine phosphate (PYRIDOXAMINE).

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
