Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the epilepsy-inducing actions of paraoxon with elevated [K+]e and the effects of atropine, pralidoxime, and selective muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) antagonists on the actions of paragon. paraoxon-induced cholinesterase inhibition elicited epileptic activity in elevated [K+]e but not normal [K+]e. Treatment for hyperkalemia likely prevents the development of epilepsy in organophosphate intoxication. Paraoxon-induced epileptic activity was inhibited by atropine but not by pralidoxime. Relatively weak mAChR activation likely elicited epileptic activity in 7.5 mM [K+]e. Atropine, rather than pralidoxime, may be effective at inhibiting organophosphate-induced epileptic activity.
