Abstract
The effect of Piracetam on hypoxia-induced alterations of cerebral cortex electrogenesis is studied. The results showed protection. As this anti-hypoxidotic property could be linked to Piracetam influence on energy-metabolic processes in the brain, we studied the effect of this nootropic drug on local cerebral glucose utilization (LCGU) by means of a variant of the Sokoloff's technique. Our results showed that Piracetam enhances LCGU. We suggest that both effects, the functional and the metabolic one, are related.Entities:
