The effect of isradipine on maximal electroshock seizures in mice.
1. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible anticonvulsant effect of a dihydropyridine calcium antagonist, isradipine, which easily crosses the blood-brain barrier displaying high affinity and specificity for the brain L-type voltage-sensitive calcium channel, on maximal electroshock seizures in mice. 2. Isradipine at i.p. doses of 2.5 mg/kg and 5.0 mg/kg was found to cause a stati...
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 کاملIvabradine (a hyperpolarization activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel blocker) elevates the threshold for maximal electroshock-induced tonic seizures in mice.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the effect of ivabradine (a hyperpolarization activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel (HCN) blocker) on the threshold for maximal electroshock (MEST)-induced tonic seizures in mice. METHODS Electroconvulsionswere produced inmice by means of a current (sine-wave, 50Hz, maximum 500 V, strength from 3-10 mA, ear-clip electrodes, 0.2-s stimulus ...
متن کاملFluoxetine enhances the anticonvulsant effects of conventional antiepileptic drugs in maximal electroshock seizures in mice.
The present study was designed to investigate the effects of fluoxetine (FXT), a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, on the effect of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in the maximal electroshock seizure (MES) model in mice. FXT at the doses of 25, 20 and 15 mg/kg significantly increased the electroconvulsive threshold. The antidepressant applied at the lower doses (10, 5 and 2.5 mg/kg) did not in...
