La S-adénosyl-L-homocystéine : 2. Anticonvulsivante

Abstract
S-Adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH) decreases the epileptiform discharges induced by hippocampic stimulation in rats. SAH reduces pentetrazol convulsions, does not modify picrotoxin convulsions and increases strychnine toxicity. These effects are not linked to GABA metabolism perturbation or to the concentration of some amino acids known for their action in synaptic transmission.
