Cysteamine normalizes cerebral somatostatin level and binding in pentylenetetrazol-kindled rats.
Rats were kindled by intraperitoneal injection of pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) (30 mg/Kg) every 48 h. Once kindled, some of the animals received a single injection of cysteamine (200 mg/Kg). Somatostatin-like immunoreactivity (SLI) and 125 I-Tyr11-somatostatin binding were measured in the frontoparietal cortex and hippocampus of the two experimental groups and the control rats. After PTZ kindling th...
متن کاملIvabradine Reduces Seizures in Pentylenetetrazol- Kindled Mice
Methods: Forty Mice were randomly allocated into 4 equal groups; control, PTZ, diazepam (4mg/kg) and ivabradine (10 mg/kg) groups. Kindling model was produced by repeated i.p. administration of PTZ (40mg/kg), every other day for 9 days. Repeated PTZ treatment progressively increased the seizure score with the maximum score reached on day 9. Diazepam and ivabradine were administered intraperiton...
متن کاملMontelukast reduces seizures in pentylenetetrazol-kindled mice.
Cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) have been implicated in seizures and kindling; however, the effect of CysLT receptor antagonists on seizure frequency in kindled animals and changes in CysLT receptor expression after pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced kindling have not been investigated. In this study, we evaluated whether the CysLT1 inverse agonist montelukast, and a classical anticonvulsant, phen...
متن کاملEffects of sildenafil on pentylenetetrazol-induced convulsions in mice and amygdala-kindled seizures in rats.
Sildenafil is the first marketed phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and recently, for pulmonary hypertension. While the treatment was found to be highly effective, several adverse effects are associated with this compound. Among numerous central nervous system-related untoward effects, proconvulsant activity was reported. The purpose of this study was to ass...
متن کاملAnxiolytic and antidepressive effects of electric stimulation of the paleocerebellar cortex in pentylenetetrazol kindled rats.
Anxiety and depression are component of interictal behavioral deteriorations that occur as a consequence of kindling, a procedure to induce chronic epilepsy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible effects of electrical stimulation (ES) of paleocerebellar cortex on anxiety and depressive-like behavior in a PTZ kindled epilepsy model. Kindling was induced via pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) (...
