Abstract excerpt
The antiepileptic drug carbamazepine produces dose related anticonvulsant effects in genetically epilepsy-prone rats (GEPRs) and most other animal seizure models. Carbamazepine releases serotonin as part of the pharmacodynamic action by which it suppresses convulsions in GEPRs and it releases serotonin in non-epileptic Sprague-Dawley rats. The two strains which make up the GEPR seizure model (moderate seizure...
