This comprises a haphazard assembly of neurones, bundles of nerve fibres, and neuroglial cells in more or less appropriate proportions and distribution. These 'tumours' are usually about 1 to 2 cm. ...
متن کاملProtective Effect of Epicatechin on Survival of PC12 Neurons Exposed to Valproic Acid
Background and purpose: It is well established that valproic acid (VPA) is teratogenic associated with oxidative stress in humans and in all animal species tested. In this study, considering the chemical composition of catechins, we investigated its protective effect on the survival of PC12 nerve cells exposed to valproic acid.

Purpose: we previously reported that maternal valproic acid (VA) administration during rat pregnancy produced CNS defect ranely, syringomyelia. Furthermore, it seems that administration of valproic acid during critical period of pregnancy may affect on development of other embryonic skeletal portion such as craniofacial region. The goal of our study was to determine whether there is a relations...
