ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATASE, ELECTROLYTES, AND OXYGEN UPTAKE RATES OF HUMAN NORMAL AND EPILEPTOGENIC CEREBRAL CORTEX

Abstract
The Mg activated and the Ca activated adenosine triphosphatase activities, the K and Na content, and the O2 uptake rate in a medium containing glucose, pyruvate, glutamate, and fumarate were determined in human cerebral cortex excised from epileptic patients. No differences between focal epileptogenic and normal tissue were detected.
