Background and Objective: Epilepsy is a common disease in communities. Since there is no cure for it and current treatments are not effective for every patient, new method for medical treatment of epileptic patients is necessary. As NMDA receptors antagonists are the most prominent anti-epileptic drugs, in this study we synthesized and investigated anti-epileptic effect of a new piperidine deri...
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...
Background: Epilepsy is a chronic central nervous system disorder with high prevalence in modern society. Despite using common anticonvulsant drugs, its control not adequately achieved. Animal models for seizures play the leading role advancing our understanding of cellular mechanisms epilepsy. The present study was an attempt to elucidate electrophysiological mechanism effect sodium valproate ...
Chronic administration of ethanol (2-5 g/kg p.o.) on days 1 to 6 and its withdrawal produced anxiogenic reaction in mice and rats as assessed on the elevated plus-maze. Daily administration of Mentat (100-mg/kg) prior to ethanol intoxication for 6 days prevented withdrawal-induced anxiety in both rats and mice. However, the acute administration of a single dose of Mentat to animals withdrawn fr...
We have previously proven that some synthetic kynurenines behave as antagonists of the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor inhibiting neuronal subtype of nitric oxide synthase activity. We now investigate the anticonvulsant activity of four of these kynurenines in pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-treated rats. The rats were treated with each kynurenine (10-160 mg/kg, s.c.) 30 min before PTZ administration (1...
OBJECTIVE Cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a focal neuromodulation technique that suppresses cortical excitability by low-amplitude constant electrical current, and may have an antiepileptic effect. Yet, tDCS has not been tested in status epilepticus (SE). Furthermore, a combined tDCS and pharmacotherapy antiseizure approach is unexplored. We therefore examined in the ...
Pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) is an epileptogenic agent, which is widely used in the determination of epilepsy-induced alterations and in the assessment of anticonvulsant agents in epileptic studies. Even though PTZ is suggested to induce repetitive firing of nerve fibers and shorten the refractory, its mechanism of action is only partially understood. In the literature there are discrepancies for it...
Various antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) especially enzyme-inducing AEDs might be associated with increased vascular risk, through impairment of the endogenous antioxidative ability which may trigger oxygen-dependent tissue injury. Lamotrigine (LTG) a non-enzyme-inducing AED has scarce information regarding its effects on oxidative stress. The present study aimed to study the possible modulation of v...
Brain extraction of (18)F-labeled 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) was significantly higher in pentylene tetrazole (PTZ)-treated rats (32 +/- 4%) than controls (25 +/- 4%). The FDG permeability-surface area product (PS) was also significantly higher with PTZ treatment (0.36 +/- 0.05 ml. min(-1). g(-1)) than in controls (0.20 +/- 0.06 ml. min(-1). g(-1)). Cerebral blood flow rates were also elev...
