title: [Effect of benzodiazepine and GABA derivatives on the energy metabolism indices in brain edema].
abstract: The development of toxic and traumatic brain edema in rats is accompanied by a decrease in the ATP level, in the total amount of adenyl nucleotides, the magnitude of the energy charge in the ATP-ADP-AMP system, and by an elevation in the content of AMP. Diazepam (0.5 mg/kg) and phenibut (50 mg/kg) that exert an antiedematous action reduce the amplitude of bioenergetic shifts during edema. As for piracetam (1000 mg/kg) it exhibits an insignificant effect. It is assumed that positive action of diazepam and phenibut on brain bioenergetics in edema is realized via the GABA-ergic system.
