title: Blood-brain barrier permeability during acute and chronic electroconvulsive seizures.
abstract: The effect of chronic electroconvulsive seizure on the blood brain barrier permeability to albumin was investigated in the male rats. Evans blue was used as a blood brain barrier tracer. The following situations were studied: Acute electroshock: a. one electroshock stimulus, b. ten electroshock stimuli. Chronic electroshock: a) group of animals were pretreated with electroshock given as one electroshock (ES) every other day (ES x 7); b) chronic electroshock + one electroshock, c) chronic electroshock + ten repeated electroshocks. As a result, chronic electroshock per se does not effect the blood-brain barrier permeability.
