title: [Effects of neurotropin on seizure activity in picrotoxin kindling].
abstract: It is shown that both intracerebral and intraperitoneal neurotropin administration resulted in a decrease of seizure susceptibility of preliminary picrotoxin--kindled rats. On the other hand, neurotropin did not change the course of kindling development. Under conditions of acute picrotoxin--induced seizures it was observed that preliminary cycloheximide (protein-synthesis blocker) administration abolished anticonvulsant properties of neurotropin. It is concluded that anticonvulsant effects of neurotropin are realized via modulation of endogenous peptides synthesis and, in particular, cerulein.
