GM1 ganglioside prevents seizures, Na+,K+-ATPase activity inhibition and oxidative stress induced by glutaric acid and pentylenetetrazole

Monosialoganglioside (GM1) is a glycosphingolipid that protects against some neurological conditions, such as seizures and ischemia. Glutaric acidemia type I (GA-I) is an inherited disease characterized by striatal degeneration, seizures, and accumulation of glutaric acid (GA). In this study, we sho...
