OBJECTIVE
Folic acid (FA) is physiologically important in mammals and is a common vitamin supplement used during pregnancy and lactation. Numerous studies have reported that FA significantly improves endothelial function. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) plays an important role in maintaining the
The effects of intracerebral injection of folic acid are still controversial. We studied the electroencephalographic, behavioral, and histopathologic consequences of the seizures induced by intra-amygdala administration of various doses of FA in freely moving cats. The severity of the seizures was
We report a case of increase in seizure frequency and severity in a 26-year-old woman receiving folic acid at a dosage of 0.8 mg/day. She had symptomatic partial epilepsy with simple and complex seizures treated with carbamazepine. She was planning pregnancy and we prescribed folic acid for
The aim of this study is to investigate the associations between febrile seizure and serum levels of vitamin B12, folic acid, and homocysteine. One hundred and four children who presented with febrile seizure and 75 controls who presented with febrile illness unaccompanied by seizure were enrolled
Influence of folic acid on the CNS is still unclear. Folate has a neuroprotective effect, while on the other hand excess folate can exacerbate seizures in epileptics. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of subchronic administration of folic acid on behavioural and
Numerous studies have linked folate deficiency and resultant elevated plasma homocysteine levels with an increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases and seizures. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of acute folic acid administration on behavioural and electroencephalographic
The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of subchronic co-administration of folic acid (F) and l-arginine (A) on behavioural and electroencephalographic (EEG) characteristics of dl homocysteine thiolactone (H) induced seizures in adult rats. The activity of membrane ATPases in
Folic acid deficient diet reduces the duration and severity of intravenous megimide seizures in the rat after 6 months of diet. Plasma and serum folate levels are strongly reduced after that period. The difference between Lactobacillus casei and Streptococcus faecalis activity in brain show a
Maternal folic acid supplementation is essential to reduce the risk of neural tube defects. We hypothesize that high levels of folic acid throughout gestation may produce neural networks more susceptible to seizure in offspring. We hence administered large doses of folic acid to rats before and
This study was carried out to determine changes over time in use of folic acid, anti-epileptic drugs (AED), seizures during pregnancy and malformation rate over two decades in women with epilepsy enrolled in the Kerala registry of Epilepsy and Pregnancy To evaluate the effect of folic acid supplementation on seizure control in folate deficient children receiving long term antiepileptic therapy.
In a prospective interventional study, 140 children between age group 6 mo to 180 mo fulfilling the inclusion criteria were enrolled in study group, from
Pentylenetetrazol (PT) eeg thresholds were measured in rats on a folic acid (FA) deficient diet, normal diet, and a diet supplemented with large amounts of folic acid. The intraperitoneal dose per kilogram body weight of PT is significantly higher in the FA deficient group and significantly lower in
