Effect of insulin-induced epileptic seizures on neutral glycolipids of rabbit cerebral cortex.
The neutral glycolipids of rabbit central cortex were analyzed during epileptic seizures produced by insulin or pentetrazol injection. The two agents gave similar results. A decrease of glycolipid content occurred in the cortex and in the neuronal fraction during seizures. The normal glycolipid level was restored during the recovery phase.
