Pregabalin Attenuates Excitotoxicity in Diabetes
Diabetes can exacerbate seizures and worsen seizure-related brain damage. In the present study, we aimed to determine whether the standard antiepileptic drug pregabalin (PGB) protects against pilocarpine-induced seizures and excitotoxicity in diabetes. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into either a streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes group or a normal saline (NS) group. Both groups...
متن کاملTumor Necrosis Factor Alpha: A Link between Neuroinflammation and Excitotoxicity
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF- α) is a proinflammatory cytokine that exerts both homeostatic and pathophysiological roles in the central nervous system. In pathological conditions, microglia release large amounts of TNF-α; this de novo production of TNF-α is an important component of the so-called neuroinflammatory response that is associated with several neurological disorders. In addition,...
متن کاملCaffeine attenuates lipopolysaccharide-induced neuroinflammation.
Caffeine is an antagonist at A1 and A2A adenosine receptors and epidemiological evidence suggests that caffeine consumption reduces the risk of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Neuroinflammation plays a role in the etiology of these diseases and caffeine may provide protection through the modulation of inflammation. Adenosine has a known role in the propagation of inflammation and caffeine...
متن کاملThe lymphocyte migration inhibitor FTY720 attenuates experimental hypertensive nephropathy.
The lymphocyte migration inhibitor FTY720 attenuates experimental hypertensive nephropathy. Infiltration with lymphocytes is found in both immune and nonimmune chronic kidney diseases. In a rat model of immune-initiated progressive glomerulosclerosis, selective inhibition of lymphocyte infiltration by FTY720 showed significant beneficial effects on renal fibrosis. To test whether this translate...
متن کاملNeuroinflammation and Excitotoxicity in Neurobiology of Hiv-1 Infection and Aids: Targets for Neuroprotection
Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) pose a persistent health problem worldwide. Infected peripheral immune-competent cells, in particular macrophages, appear to infiltrate the central nervous system (CNS) and provoke a neuropathological and inflammatory response involving all cell types in the brain. In fact, HIV-1 seems to ent...
