Study Snapshot
Piperidine dicarboxylic acid can protect against sound-induced seizures, while its convulsant effects can cause myoclonus or convulsions, with their effects influenced by N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors.
PopulationOlder adults (50-71 years)
Sample size24
MethodsObservational
OutcomesBody Mass Index projections
ResultsSocial networks mitigate obesity in older groups.

Antagonists of synaptic and amino acid excitation of neurones in the cat spinal cord
The results support the involvement of l-aspartate as the transmitter of some spinal excitatory interneurones, but no suitable antagonists were found for assessing the role of l-glutamate as the transmitter of some spinal primary afferent fibers.

Protection against chemically induced seizures by 2-amino-7-phosphonoheptanoic acid.
2-amino-7-phosphonoheptanoic acid (2APH) effectively protects mice from chemically induced seizures caused by NMDLA, 3MPA, TSC, DMCM, and picrotoxin, suggesting an aspartergic component contributes to these seizures.
