title: [The effect of the cerebrospinal fluid from rats subjected to picrotoxin-induced kindling on the motor activity and seizure susceptibility of recipient animals].
abstract: Experiments on rats have shown that repeated administration of primarily subthreshold dose of picrotoxin leads to the occurrence and progressive enhancement of seizure manifestations. During picrotoxin kindling the decrease of locomotor activity in interictal periods was recorded. Microinjection of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of kindled rats into lateral brain ventriculi of recipients resulted in decrease of locomotor activity and acute primarily generalized picrotoxin induced seizures. These effects of CSF were blocked by naloxone administration and were observed only if injecting CSF which was preliminarily treated with protease inhibitors. It is concluded that endogenous opioid substances accumulate in CNS during kindling and evoke a decrease in the locomotor activity. These substances act as anticonvulsant factors which control the development of epileptic activity.
