Pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) is a common convulsant agent used in animal models to investigate the mechanisms of seizures. Although adult zebrafish have been recently used to study epileptic seizures, a thorough characterization of the PTZ-induced seizures in this animal model is missing. The goal of this study was to perform a detailed temporal behavior profile characterization of PTZ-induced seiz...
Carnosine, a precursor of histidine, ameliorates pentylenetetrazole-induced kindled seizures in rat.
Carnosine (beta-alanyl-l-histidine) has been characterized as a putative neurotransmitter. However, so far, understanding of the role of carnosine in the brain is very limited. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of carnosine on the development of pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) kindling seizures and protection against the PTZ kindled seizures in rats. Chemical kindling was elicited ...
OBJECTIVE Eclampsia is a poorly understood but potentially fatal complication of pregnancy. Research to date on this disorder has been hampered by the lack of a suitable animal model. To correct this deficiency, this report describes the generation of a rat eclampsia-like model using pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) in a previously established rat preeclampsia model. METHOD Rats were administered lipo...
Recently, studies have shown that serotonin plays an important role in the control of seizure. However, the specific role of 5-HT receptor subtypes is not yet well described, in particular that of the 5-HT3 receptor. The present study was aimed to investigate the role of 5-HT3 receptor on the pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizure in mice. Firstly, seizure latency was significantly prolonged ...
In the present study, the effects of tamoxifen on pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced repeated seizures and hippocampal neuronal damage in ovariectomized rats were investigated. Thirty seven virgin female Wistar rats were divided to: (1) control, (2) sham-PTZ, (3) sham-PTZ-tamoxifen (sham-PTZ-T), (4) Ovariectomized -PTZ (OVX-PTZ) and (5) OVX-PTZ-tamoxifen (OVX-PTZ-T) groups. The animals of groups ...
introduction: there is evidence that diabetes affects seizure susceptibility. ginger (zingiber officinale roscoe) which is used in traditional medicine has antioxidant activity and neuroprotective effects. the aim of this study was to evaluate the seizure threshold induced by pentylenetetrazole (ptz) in diabetic mice after induction of diabetes with streptozocin and to examine the possible role...
Stress is the body’s reaction to any change that requires adaptive responses. In various organisms, stress a seizure-related comorbidity. Despite exposure stressors eliciting aversive behaviors in zebrafish, there are no data showing whether potentiates epileptic seizures this species. Here, we investigated previous an intense acute stressor positively modulates susceptibility pentylenetetrazol...
Neuron restrictive silencer factor (NRSF), also known as repressor element-1 silencing transcription factor, has been reported to modulate neuronal excitability and acts as endogenous anticonvulsant in kainic acid-induced or kindling-evoked seizure activity. However, whether NRSF functions in pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced seizure activity has never been studied. To investigate the role of end...
To date, anticonvulsant effects of the plant cannabinoid, cannabidivarin (CBDV), have been reported in several animal models of seizure. However, these behaviourally observed anticonvulsant effects have not been confirmed at the molecular level. To examine changes to epilepsy-related gene expression following chemical convulsant treatment and their subsequent control by phytocannabinoid adminis...
PURPOSE Zebrafish are a vertebrate organism ideally suited to mutagenesis screening strategies. Although a genetic basis for seizure susceptibility and epilepsy is well established, no efforts have been made to study seizure resistance. Here we describe a novel strategy to isolate seizure-resistant zebrafish mutants from a large-scale mutagenesis screen. METHODS Seizures were induced with pen...
