Maximal electroshock-induced seizures are able to induce Homer1a mRNA expression but not pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures
OBJECTIVE Homer1a is a protein that regulates metabotropic glutamate receptors involved in neural plasticity processes. Recently, we demonstrated that Homer1a mRNA is enhanced after pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus. Here, we investigated whether a single acute seizure triggered by means of pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) injection or maximal electroshock (MES) stimulation (2 different seizure mo...
متن کاملAnticonvulsant Activity of Viola tricolor against Seizures Induced by Pentylenetetrazol and Maximal Electroshock in Mice
Background: Recently, there has been much more interest in the use of medicinal plants in search of novel therapies for human neurodegenerative diseases such as epilepsy. In the present study, we investigated the anticonvulsant effects of Viola tricolor (V. tricolor) on seizure models induced by pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) and maximal electroshock stimulation (MES). Methods: Totally, 260 mice were ...
متن کاملAnticonvulsant Effect of Alcea aucheri on Pentylenetetrazole and Maximal Electroshock Seizures in Mice
Introduction: This study was designed to investigate the possible anticonvulsant effect of acute administration of an aqueous extract of flowers of Alcea aucheri (EFA) in a seizure model. Methods: Seizures were induced in male adult Swiss mice by administration of pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) or Maximal Electroshock (MES). Mice were randomly subjected to receive saline, EFA (8.75-175 mg.kg-1), or d...
متن کاملAnticonvulsant Effects of New 1, 4-DihydropyridineDerivatives Containing Imidazolyl Moiety Against Seizures Induced by Pentylenetetrazole and Maximal Electroshock in Mice
Epilepsy is a chronic disorder of the brain affecting around 50 million people in the world. Up to 30% of epileptic patients do not respond to available drugs and medical therapies. In this paper, anticonvulsant screening of 10 synthesized new derivatives of 1, 4-dihydropyridine-3, 5-dicarboxamides was performed. Anticonvulsant activity was evaluated by intravenous and intraperitoneal pentylene...
متن کاملAnti-epileptic Activity of Malachra Capitata L. on Maximal Electroshock (mes) and Pentylenetetrazole (ptz) Induced Seizures Models
The present study is an investigation of anti-epileptic activity of Malachra capitata L. (FamilyMalvaceae) is a wellknown plant which is being used in Indian traditional medicines for treating epilepsy and inflammation. The aqueous extract of Malachra capitata L. (AMC) was subjected to acute toxicity and then screened for anticonvulsant activity on Maximal Electroshock (MES) and Pentylenetetraz...
