Montelukast Inhibits Pentylenetetrazol-Induced Seizures in Rats
BACKGROUND Montelukast is an antiinflammatory drug with an antioxidant property. In this study, we aimed to reveal whether montelukast has a preventive effect against seizures and post-seizure oxidative stress in pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced seizures in rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS Of the 48 male Sprague-Dawley rats used in the study, 24 were assigned to EEG recordings (group A) and 24 were ...
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 کاملEffect of berberine on pentylenetetrazol-induced seizures in rats
Objective: Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) that are usually used for treatment of epilepsy have substantial side effects and about 30% of patients continue to have seizures with current AEDs therapy. Some herbs which traditionally used in the management of seizures of many rural areas of the developing countries have shown anticonvulsant activity in modern pharmacological bioassays. The aim of the p...
متن کاملPentylenetetrazol and strychnine convulsions in brain weight selected mice
The seizure sensitivities to pentylenetetrazol (Ptz, 25-100 mg/kg) and strychnine (S, 2 mg/kg) were tested in two mice lines selected for large (LB) and small (SB) brain weight (brain weight difference being approximately 75 mg). The selection was based on a regression line connecting body and brain weight. SB mice were more sensitive to both drugs-their seizure latencies were shorter and letha...
متن کاملPro-convulsant effect of cefazolin sodium against pentylenetetrazol- or picrotoxin-induced convulsions in mice.
Cefazolin injection (3000 mg/kg, i.v.) in mice showed several behavioral excitations such as wild running, jumping, rolling, and finally undergoing severe convulsions followed by death. It's lower doses (500-2000 mg/kg, i.v.) were unable to produce any convulsions or behavioral excitations in mice. However, cefazolin (500 or 1000 mg/kg, i.v.) when administered before different doses of pentylen...
