Effect of Audiogenic Seizures on the Dynamics of Fatty Acid Composition of Hippocampal Dental Gyrus in Krushinsky-Molodkina Rats.

Abstract

Changes in the fatty acid composition of the hippocampal dentate gyrus in Krushinsky-Molodkina rats with hereditary predisposition to audiogenic seizures were studied in 1, 3, and 14 days after 1 or 5 seizures. Seizure activity changed the content of saturated and monounsaturated as well as polyunsaturated fatty acids at different terms after seizures. After seizures, the content of individual fatty acids changed in different directions. Similar shifts after 1 and 5 seizures were observed only for eicosapentaenoic acid at all observation terms. More pronounced changes in fatty acid composition were observed after 5 seizures. These results can be useful for the development of new approaches to correction of seizure activity.
