Melatonin attenuates L-cysteine-induced seizures and lipid peroxidation in the brain of mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

The effect of melatonin, a potent free radical scavenger, on L-cysteine-induced seizures and lipid peroxidation was investigated in mice. When L-cysteine (1.25, or 5.0 mumol/animal) was injected intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) into mice, severe tonic seizures were observed for over 20 sec in 75%

Preventive effect of N(G)-nitro-L-arginine against L-cysteine-induced seizures in mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

The effect of N(G)-nitro-L-arginine (NNA), an inhibitor of nitric oxide (NO) synthase on L-cysteine- induced neurotoxicity was investigated in mice. When L-cysteine (1, 2.5, 5 or 10 micromol/brain) was injected intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) in mice, severe tonic seizures were observed for over 20

In vivo and in vitro effects of melatonin or ganglioside GT1B on L-cysteine-induced brain mitochondrial DNA damage in mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

The effects of L-cysteine on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in mouse brain were investigated both in vivoandin vitro. An intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of L-cysteine (1.25 micromol/animal) caused mtDNA damage in brain frontal and central portions of the cortex, broad-spectrum limbic and severe

Melatonin in experimental seizures and epilepsy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Although melatonin is approved only for the treatment of jet-lag syndrome and some types of insomnia, clinical data suggest that it is effective in the adjunctive therapy of osteoporosis, cataract, sepsis, neurodegenerative diseases, hypertension, and even cancer. Melatonin also modulates the

Prevention of hypoglycemia-induced hippocampal neuronal death by N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC).

Only registered users can translate articles

Type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients who are treated with insulin or other blood glucose reducing agents for tight control of blood glucose levels are frequently at risk of experiencing severe hypoglycemia which can lead to seizures, loss of consciousness and death. Hypoglycemic neuronal cell death

A review of traditional and novel treatments for seizures in autism spectrum disorder: findings from a systematic review and expert panel.

Only registered users can translate articles

Despite the fact that seizures are commonly associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the effectiveness of treatments for seizures has not been well studied in individuals with ASD. This manuscript reviews both traditional and novel treatments for seizures associated with ASD. Studies were

Cysteine-induced hypoglycemic brain damage: an alternative mechanism to excitotoxicity.

Only registered users can translate articles

Central neural damage caused by L-cysteine (L-Cys) was first reported more than 30 years ago. Nevertheless, the exact mechanisms of L-Cys-mediated neurotoxicity are still unclear. Preliminary study in mice demonstrated that, following L-Cys injection, animals developed tachypnea, tremor,

Investigation of molybdenum cofactor deficiency due to MOCS2 deficiency in a newborn baby.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MOCD) is a severe autosomal recessive neonatal metabolic disease that causes seizures and death or severe brain damage. Symptoms, signs and cerebral images can resemble those attributed to intrapartum hypoxia. In humans, molybdenum cofactor (MOCO) has been

Evidence that phospholipase D activation prevents group I mGluR-induced persistent prolongation of epileptiform bursts.

Only registered users can translate articles

Selective activation of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) with (S)-3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) in guinea pig hippocampal slices converts 275- to 475-ms picrotoxin-induced interictal bursts into persistent seizure-length discharges typically over 1 s in duration. Here we report

Molybdenum cofactor deficiency: report of three cases presenting as hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report three infants with the diagnosis of molybdenum cofactor deficiency. The key findings leading to diagnosis were neonatal seizures unresponsive to treatment, craniofacial dysmorphic features, hyperexcitability, low blood uric acid levels, and neuroimaging findings. The parents were

Enhancement of Endothelial Barrier Permeability by Mitragynine.

Only registered users can translate articles

Persistent inhalation of mitragynine (MG), a major alkaloid in the leaves of Mitragyna speciosa, causes various systemic adverse effects such as seizure, diarrhea and arthralgias, but its toxicity to endothelial cells and effects on barrier function of the cells are poorly understood. In this study,

Contribution of nitric oxide, superoxide anion, and peroxynitrite to activation of mitochondrial apoptotic signaling in hippocampal CA3 subfield following experimental temporal lobe status epilepticus.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE One cellular consequence of status epilepticus is apoptosis in the hippocampal CA3 subfield. We evaluated the hypothesis that the repertoire of cellular events that underlie such elicited cell death entails mitochondrial dysfunction induced by an excessive production of nitric oxide
