Mechanism of ictogenesis of D- and L-stereroisomers of
homocysteic acid was studied in 12-day-old rats by means of
antagonists of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and alpha-amino-3-
hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors.
There was no qualitative difference between the two
stereoisomers in generation of emprosthotonic (flexion) as well
as generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Moderate differences were
observed in the first, nonconvulsive effects of the two isomers.
As generation of the two types of seizures is concerned, NMDA
and AMPA participate in generalized tonic-clonic seizures whereas
NMDA receptors play a dominant role in generation of flexion
seizures.
