Background Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder.The homologous to E6-AP carboxy terminus(HECT)E3 ligase is associated with epilepsy.NEDD4-like ubiquitin protein ligase-1(NEDL1)is a HECT E3 ligase that is highly ...
Background: Increased brain P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression may play important role in resistance to antiseizure drugs. The present work aimed to overcome the drug resistance that develop due to overexpression of P-g...

Current antiepileptic drugs can inhibit seizure occurrence but are not effective in preventing its onset.Moreover,they produce several side effects,which may impact the efficacy of the treatment.In addition,it has bee...
Chrysanthellum americanum (L.) Vatke is a medicinal plant used by the traditional healers to treat epilepsy and associated memory impairment. This work aims at evaluating the anticonvulsant effects of Chrysanthellum a...
Intermittent hypoxia or hypoxia therapy is exposing an individual to oxygenation conditions that are below atmospheric levels in a planned or acute timeframe. Hypoxia therapy is a potentially novel therapeutic strateg...
After status epilepticus(SE),actin cytoskeleton(F actin)becomes progressively deconstructed in the hippocampus.A variety of experiments show that calcineurin inhibitors such as FK506 are able to inhibit the SE-induced...
Background:The role of neuroplasticity in epilepsy has been widely studied in experimental models and human brain samples.However,the results are contradictory and it remains unclear if neuroplasticity is more related...

Background:Epileptic seizure is a process of energy accumulation,bursting,and depletion accompanied by the production,spread,and termination of epileptic discharges.The energy required for a seizure is mainly provided...
Objective:To investigate the neuromodulatory effect of pinellia total alkaloids(PTA)on the gamma-aminobutyric acidergic(GABAergic)system in epileptic rats,and preliminarily evaluate the anti-epileptic effect of PTA.Me...
