title: [Comparative investigation of anticonvulsive effects of putrescine and structural analogues of delta-sleep-inducing peptide].
abstract: Intracysternal putrescine before a session of hyperbaric oxygenation (0.7 MPa) was shown to be more effective in prolonging the latent period of onset of generalized convulsive activity than intraperitoneal delta-sleep-inducing peptide or its structural analogues ID-1 or ID-3. Biochemical studies indicated that putrescine was also more effective in preventing hyperbaric oxygenation-induced decreases in the levels of GABA and homocarnosine in the brain and the accumulation of lipid peroxidation products in the brain and serum.
