  • Title: Opioid peptides and seizures in the spontaneously epileptic Mongolian gerbil.
    Author: Lee RJ, Bajorek JG, Lomax P.
    Journal: Life Sci; 1983; 33 Suppl 1():567-70. PubMed ID: 6141501.
    Abstract:
    The naturally epileptic Mongolian gerbil was used to investigate the epileptogenic properties of beta-endorphin, dynorphin, met-enkephalin and morphine. The results indicate that opioid induced "seizures" are different from naturally spontaneous seizures in the gerbil in respect to EEG recording and motor behavior. Evidence for a protective role in preventing seizures is also presented.
