Overexcitation of excitatory amino acid is an important mechanism in seizure genesis wherein free radicals have recently been suggested to play a critical role. Thus, intervention by antioxidants can be a potential beneficial approach in the treatment of epilepsy. The present study was undertaken to
The effect of trans-resveratrol (resveratrol), a polyphenolic compound with potent antioxidant activity, was investigated against pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) induced seizures in rats. Resveratrol (20, 40, and 80 mg/kg i.p.) administered 20 min prior to convulsive challenge with PTZ (60 mg/kg i.p.) dose
The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of trans-resveratrol, a potent antioxidant, against FeCl3-induced posttraumatic seizures. Male Wistar rats weighing 200-250 g were implanted with epidural electrodes and allowed to recover After the recording of baseline EEG. FeCl3 (5
Post traumatic epilepsy is the development of recurrent seizures following head trauma and has a high clinical relevance. Several risk factors including some genetic factors increase the susceptibility of post traumatic epilepsy. The precise mechanisms of epileptogenesis in post-traumatic epilepsy
In adult rats, trans-resveratrol attenuates kainic acid (KA)-induced convulsions and the associated hippocampal neurotoxicity. Increased neuronal survival was correlated with reduced lipid peroxidation. Since free radical generation after KA is age dependent and does not correlate with the onset of
