A study of antioxidant enzymes on experimental epileptic rat models induced by kainic acid excitotixicity

The word neurodegeneration rightly refers to the degenerative changes in nerve cell structure and so its functions too. main characteristics of these neurodegenerative disorders are relentless progression decline cognition. Epilepsy is one that affects a major portion people around world common form focal epilepsy Temporal lobe (TLE). According researchers cause for degeneration excess production free radicals. Preventing their action or quenching them will make big deal preventing neurodegeneration. As research work relation very much limited India, we aimed as an initiative. herbs always well known antioxidant activity with negligible side effects, planned apply well-known herb, Acorus calamus studied potency it maintaining enzyme levels. aim this study particular analyze preventive role active ingredient Beta asarone than treating epileptic rat models. For same, selected eight groups animals.
