Lovastatin reduces neuronal cell death in hippocampal CA1 subfield after pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus: preliminary results

purpurea was found to be useful to control lithium-pilocarpine induced status epilepticus in albino rats of Wistar strain.. Keywords: Free radical scavenging, MDA, antioxidant,

Considering that studies have demonstrated that status epilepticus induced by pilocarpine is followed by changes in the level of oxidative stress (Freitas et

Eight groups of rats were studied: Saline ( N =5) group rats were injected with saline following DMSO/saline injection; Pilo ( N =43) group rats were treated with pilocarpine

Accordingly, when not associated with blood vessels, cells derived from bone marrow gradually migrate to the brain parenchyma, particularly the hippocampus of epileptic animals..

To determine the firing rate change prior to the onset of SE, the neuronal rates before pilocarpine injection [-10:0 minutes] were compared with the rates after pilocarpine

Further, the cell survival rate and dendrite length of the cultured hippocampal neuronal cells after 24 h of glutamate exposure was exam- ined for confirmation of

In summary, we characterized miRNA expression profile in rat hippocampus at 24 hours after SE induced by amygdala stimulation and screened out six differentially expressed miRNAs,

Differential expression of genes in the CA1 region of KA-treated rats compared to control rats: genes associated with neuronal damage, calcium-binding, gliosis and inflammation..
