Marijuana: Neurotoxic or Neuroprotective?
Chronic marijuana intake was known to induce morphological changes to the brain impairing memory and learning ability. However, several studies demonstrated the protective effect of marijuana post-brain traumas. This article reviews studies that strengthen our horizon to understand the effects of marijuana smoking in brain. This review predicts that optimum use of marijuana or pure marijuana co...
متن کاملNeurotoxic/neuroprotective profile of carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine and two new putative antiepileptic drugs, BIA 2-093 and BIA 2-024.
We investigated and compared the toxicity profile, as well as possible neuroprotective effects, of some antiepileptic drugs in cultured rat hippocampal neurons. We used two novel carbamazepine derivatives, (S)-(-)-10-acetoxy-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz[b, f]azepine-5-carboxamide (BIA 2-093) and 10, 11-dihydro-10-hydroxyimino-5H-dibenz[b,f]azepine-5-carboxamide (BIA 2-024), and compared their effect...
متن کاملUric acid: neuroprotective or neurotoxic?
Uric Acid: Neuroprotective or Neurotoxic? To the Editor: A decades-old scientific dispute pits “as a pro-oxidant, uric acid causes disease”1–3 against “uric acid is an important antioxidant.”2–6 The antioxidant properties of urate are long-known.6 However, arguably, this issue per se originated in our complimentary reports of urate as both a primate evolutionary substitute for ascorbate4 (a put...
متن کاملZinc supplementation: neuroprotective or neurotoxic?
While zinc is essential for normal brain function and repair, recent work has implicated this trace element in the neuronal damage and death that follow traumatic brain injury, stroke, and seizure. Therefore, the development of new zinc-based therapeutic strategies will need to consider the emerging roles of zinc in the central nervous system.
متن کاملEvaluation of neurotoxic and neuroprotective pathways affected by antiepileptic drugs in cultured hippocampal neurons.
In this study we evaluated the neurotoxicity of eslicarbazepine acetate (ESL), and of its in vivo metabolites eslicarbazepine (S-Lic) and R-licarbazepine (R-Lic), as compared to the structurally-related compounds carbamazepine (CBZ) and oxcarbazepine (OXC), in an in vitro model of cultured rat hippocampal neurons. The non-related antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) lamotrigine (LTG) and sodium valproate...
