OBJECTIVE To study the effect of the co-administration of phenytoin (PHT) and rutin in comparison with PHT and piracetam (PIM) on seizure control, cognitive, and motor functions in mice. METHODS Increasing current electroshock seizure (ICES) test was used to evaluate the effect of the

The effects of L-Lysine and diethanolamine-rutin on blood ethanol levels and withdrawal convulsions following a 4-day exposure to ethanol vapors were evaluated in 30-40-g male Swiss-Webster mice. The animals were exposed in groups, along with simultaneous controls, in a 34-liter dynamic Plexiglas

A 7 yr old, male, castrated, Yorkshire terrier was presented on emergency for an acute onset of seizure activity. The owner also reported that the dog had previously exhibited other symptoms, including intermittent vomiting, diarrhea, and anorexia for several yr. The initial workup revealed a marked

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of rutin administration (100 mg/kg/day) to pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-treated Balb-c mice (60 mg/kg/day), with respect to anxiety-like behavior using both open-field and elevated plus-maze (EPM) tests, and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity

Various synthetic derivatives of natural flavonoids are known to have neuroactive properties. The aim of the present study was to investigate the anticonvulsant effects of rutin (3, 3', 4', 5, 7-pentahydrohyflavone-3-rhamnoglucoside), a flavonoid which is an important dietary constituent of food and

Individuals with epilepsy often complain about memory deficits. Various synthetic derivatives of natural flavonoids are known to have neuroactive properties. Rutin is a flavonoid that is an important dietary constituent of foods and plant-based beverages. The aim of the present study was to

Tilia genus is commonly used around the world for its central nervous system properties; it is prepared as tea and used as tranquilizing, anticonvulsant, and analgesic. In this study, anticonvulsant activity of the Tilia americana var. mexicana inflorescences and leaves was investigated by

Epilepsy, which is one of the most common neurological disorders, involves the occurrence of spontaneous and recurrent seizures that alter the performance of the brain and affect several sensory and behavioral functions.
