the effects of tilia plathphyllos scop. in a nervous disorder, including seizure was reported in traditional literatures. in the present investigation, the effects of methanolic extract of t. plathyphyllos on seizure induced by picrotoxin and pentylentetrazole were studied in mice. in this experimental study, groups of 5 animals pretreated with doses of 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg of methanolic extr...

this study investigated the anticonvulsant activity and possible mechanism of action of an aqueous solution of dorema ammoniacum gum (dag) which has been used traditionally in the treatment of convulsions.in this study, the anticonvulsant activity of dag was examined using the pentylentetrazole (ptz) model in mice. thirty male albino mice were divided randomly and equally to 5 groups, and pretr...

Despite its initial identification in neurons exposed to the seizure-inducing drug pentylentetrazole (PTZ), the function of the seizure-related gene SEZ-6 remains obscure. Expression analysis indicates specific expression in the adult brain and testis, and the structure of the predicted protein suggests putative roles in cell-cell recognition and signalling. We report here that type I SEZ-6 mRN...

OBJECTIVE Coriandrum sativum (C. sativum) as a medicinal plant has been pointed to have analgesic, hypnotic and anti-oxidant effects. In the current study, a possible preventive effect of the hydro-alcoholic extract of the plant on neuronal damages was examined in pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) rat model of seizure. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty male rats were divided into five main groups and treate...

Nitric oxide (NO) is known to be a neuromodulator with dual proconvulsive and anticonvul- sive action. Valeriana officinalis (VAL) was previously believed antiepileptic, but today as sedative sleep regulator. Seizures may associated abnormal electrocardio- graphic changes cardiac dysfunction arising from epilepsy related neuronal nitric (nNO). This study aimed investigate the effects of synthas...
