| Research Abstract |
This is a study of the effects of alpha-lipoic acid derivative (DHL) or vitamin E derivative (ETS-GS) on the peroxidation of neural membranes by hydroxyl radical, on the radical scavenging activities, on the brain energy metabolism, and on the occurrence of epileptic discharges in the hemoglobin (Hb) injected post-traumatic epilepsy model rats.
DHL or ETS-GS scavenged active oxygen species and radicals using electron spin resonance spectrometry with a spin trap, and inhibited the production of TBARS which is an index of membrane peroxidation. Therefore, DHL and ETS-GS would have a protective effect in brain from radical stress has been suggested. In the group 0.1mM administration of the ETS-GS, recovery rate of phosphocreatine 2 hours after post-ischemic reperfusion is significantly better using 31P-nucrear magnetic resonance spectrometry. However, supplemented DHL (100mg/kg/day) into the diet for 7 months did not lower the percent induction of epileptic discharges.
