AIM Epilepsy is one of the most common neurologic problems worldwide. A relationship between epilepsy and hormones has been demonstrated. This study was designed to investigate the effect of seizure on blood ghrelin level. METHODS Twenty male Wistar rats were divided into two groups. The control group received saline and the pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) group received a single convulsive dose (50...

We investigate the class of N -determined p-compact groups and the class of p-compact groups with N -determined automorphisms. A p-compact group is said to be N -determined if it is determined up to isomorphism by the normalizer of a maximal torus. The automorphisms of a p-compact group are said to be N -determined if they are determined by their restrictions to this maximal torus normalizer.

We study Sushchansky p-groups introduced in [Sus79]. We recall the original definition and translate it into the language of automata groups. The original actions of Sushchansky groups on p-ary tree are not level-transitive and we describe their orbit trees. This allows us to simplify the definition and prove that these groups admit faithful level-transitive actions on the same tree. Certain br...
