Comparison and effects of acute lamotrigine treatment on extracellular excitatory amino acids in the hippocampus of PTZ-kindled epileptic and PTZ-induced status epilepticus rats.

abstract：:We observed a spot on two-dimensional (2-D) gel in the epileptic mutant strain E1 mice with a similar molecular weight but with a different isoelectric point of approximately 0.2, compared with its mother strain ddY mice. The collected protein from the E1 mice was identified as cytosolic NADP+-dependent isocitrate deh...
