Abstract
Experiments on Krushinskii-Molodkina rats with hereditary predisposition to audiogenic seizures showed that chronic consumption of aqueous solution of melatonin (50 mg/liter) had no effect on the pattern of seizures induced by 20-fold acoustic stimulation. Sodium valproate (50 mg/liter) insignificantly decreased the seizure response. Combined treatment with sodium valproate and melatonin produced a potent anticonvulsant effect, i.e. increased the latency and decreased the severity of audiogenic seizures. However, myoclonus in animals receiving combined treatment with these drugs developed much more rapidly compared to rats receiving melatonin or sodium valproate monotherapy.
