Two or three minutes after intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of Tween 80 plus ethanol as vehicles for capsaicin, strong convulsive movements occurred in the treated rats; they twisted and turned, dashed themselves against their cage and all died. Tween 80 in saline without ethanol also
The transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1) receptor has been implicated in the development of epileptic seizures. We examined the effect of the TRPV1 agonist capsaicin on epileptic seizures, neuronal injury and oxidative stress in a model of status epilepticus induced in the rat by
The original version of this article unfortunately contains an error in the Y axis units in Fig. 1b, c (the symbol µ is not clear: µmol/g.tissue). This has been corrected by publishing this erratum.
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is widely distributed in the central nervous system (CNS) including hippocampus, and regulates the balance of excitation and inhibition in CNS, which imply its important role in epilepsy. We used both pharmacological manipulations and transgenic mice
4-aminopyridine (4-AP) produced a dose-related (0.15-2 mg/kg i.v.) potentiation of the voiding cycle of the urinary bladder and increased frequency of micturition in urethane-anesthetized rats. In bladders containing a subthreshold amount of fluid for eliciting reflex micturition 4-AP (1-3 mg/kg
The oral toxicity of capsaicin was investigated in mice and rats. Oral LD50 values were 118.8 mg/kg for male and 97.4 mg/kg for female mice, and 161.2 mg/kg for male and 148.1 mg/kg for female rats. Major toxic symptoms in mice were salivation, erythema of skin, staggering gait, bradypnea and
Inhalation of capsaicin-based sprays can cause central respiratory depression and lethal apneas. There are contradictory reports regarding the sites of capsaicin action. Furthermore, an understanding of the neurochemical mechanisms underlying capsaicin-induced apneas and the development of
The expression level of TRPV1 is high in hippocampus which is a main epileptic area in the brain. In addition to the actions of capsaicin (CAP) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), the TRPV1 channel is activated in neurons by endogenous cannabinoid, anandamide (AEA). In the current study, we
Epilepsy is a neurodegenerative disease with periodic occurrences of spontaneous seizures as the main symptom. The aim of this study was to investigate the neuroprotective effects of capsaicin, the major ingredient of hot peppers, in a kainic acid (KA)-induced status epilepticus model. After
OBJECTIVE
Early animal studies of the therapeutic mechanisms of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) suggested that seizure suppression requires maximal activation of small, unmyelinated vagal C fibers. However, effective therapeutic stimulation parameters appear to be subthreshold for these fibers in
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to investigate the role of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)/GLP-1 receptor(R) signaling in the regulation of seizure susceptibility and to explore the potential mechanism in rats.
METHODS
Hyperthermia-induced seizures in SD rats were generated using hot bath methods, and
Anandamide, an endogenous agonist of CB(1) receptors, also activates TRPV1 but at a higher concentration. Studies demonstrate the anticonvulsant activity of anandamide via CB(1) receptors, while its action through TRPV1 is still ambiguous. Thus, the present study investigated the influence of
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is a cation-permeable ion channel found in the peripheral and central nervous systems. The membrane surface expression of TRPV1 is known to occur in neuronal cell bodies and sensory neuron axons. TRPV1 receptors are also expressed in the hippocampus,
Indantadol is an oral and nonselective monoamine oxidase inhibitor and NMDA antagonist that is being developed by Vernalis plc, under license from Chiesi Farmaceutici SpA, for the potential treatment of neuropathic pain. In preclinical studies, indantadol exhibited neuroprotective effects after
The present study is on the development of dialkyl 4-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-6-yl)-1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-1-substituted pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate derivatives as isosteric analogues of isradipine and nifedipine, by the replacement of benzofurazanyl and 2-nitrophenyl groups respectively with
