Abstract

The epileptogenic effects of applications of NMDA and kainic acid solutions to the frontal cortex were attenuated in rats receiving ketogenic diet (80% lipids, 3.3% carbohydrates, and 16.7% proteins) during 4 weeks. Spike latency increased, the power of focal epileptic activity decreased, and focus lifetime was shortened in these animals. Sodium benzylpenicillin and strychnine nitrate less markedly reduced epileptogenic activity.
