چکیده
pilepsy is a group of heterogeneous neurological disorders characterized by spontaneous and recurrent seizures and is one of the most common that affects 1% of the E Background & Objective: Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder in which patients experience spontaneous recurrent seizures. Although the most commonly recommended therapy is drug treatment, some patients do not achieve adequate control of their seizures on existing drugs. New medications with novel mechanisms of action are needed to help those patients whose seizures are resistant to currently-available drugs. Therefore, the anti-convulsant effect of a high dose of quercetin was evaluated in amygdala kindling model in male rats.

متن کاملThe effect of estradiol benzoate treatment on the electrical kindled seizures of amygdala in male rats
It has been proved that kindling model of amygdala is sensitive to estradiol because the latter accelerates the overall rate of kindling. However the effect of estrogen on the seizure process has not been investigated. In this study fully kindled male rats were treated with different doses (10, 30, and 50 µg/kg, i.p.) of estradiol benzoate (EB) daily and such kindling parameters as seizure stag...
متن کاملComparing the Anticonvulsant Effects of Low Frequency Stimulation of Different Brain Sites on the Amygdala Kindling Acquisition in Rats
Low frequency stimulation (LFS) is a potential alternative therapy for epilepsy. However, it seems that the anticonvulsant effects of LFS depend on its target sites in the brain. Thus, the present study was designed to compare the anticonvulsant effects of LFS administered to amygdala, piriform cortex and substantia nigra on amygdala kindling acquisition. In control group, rats were kindled in ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Hydro-alcoholic Extracts of Anethum graveolens L. (Dill) on Amygdala Kindled in Rats
Background: Although hydro-alcoholic extracts of Anethum graveolens L. had Anticonvulsants effect on PTZ-induced kindling seizure behavior, but on the amygdala kindling in rats induced seizure has not been investigated. Objective: In this study, we evaluated the chronic effects of hydro-alcoholic extracts of Anethum graveolens L. on seizures using electrical amygdala kindling model. Methods: ...
متن کاملThe beneficial effect of the flavonoid quercetin on behavioral changes in hemi-Parkinsonian rats
Introduction: A large body of experimental evidence supports a role for oxidative stress as a mediator of nerve cell death in Parkinson's disease (PD). Flavonoids like quercetin have been reported to prevent neuronal degeneration caused by increased oxidative burden, therefore, this study examined whether quercetin administration at a high dose would attenuate behavioral abnormalities in e...
