Antagonism of peripheral inflammation reduces the severity of status epilepticus

Neurobiology of Disease, 2009
Status epilepticus (SE) is one of the most serious manifestations of epilepsy. Systemic inflammation and damage of blood-brain barrier (BBB) are etiologic cofactors in the pathogenesis of pilocarpine SE while acute osmotic disruption of the BBB is ...

Effect of eugenol on lithium-pilocarpine model of epilepsy: behavioral, histological, and molecular changes [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2017
Objective(s): Epilepsy establishment gives rise to biochemical and morphological changes in the hippocampus. Oxidative stress, morphological changes, and mossy fiber sprouting (MFS) in the hippocampus underpin the epilepsy establishment.

Pilocarpine-induced seizures associate with modifications of LSD1/CoREST/HDAC1/2 epigenetic complex and repressive chromatin in mice hippocampus

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2021
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder of genetic or environmental origin characterized by recurrent spontaneous seizures. A rodent model of temporal lobe epilepsy is induced by a single administration of pilocarpine, a non-selective cholinergic muscarinic ...

Sub-Convulsing Dose Administration of Pilocarpine Reduces Glycemia, Increases Anxiety-Like Behavior and Decelerates Cortical Spreading Depression in Rats Suckled on Various Litter Sizes

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2018
Epilepsy and malnutrition constitute two worldwide health problems affecting behavior and brain function. The cholinergic agonist pilocarpine (300–380 mg/kg; single administration) reproduces the human type of temporal lobe epilepsy in rats.

The Effect of 1% Pilocarpine Mouthwash on Salivary Flow Rate in Patients with Radiation-Induced Xerostomia: A Double-Blind Randomized Clinical Trial [PDF]

Middle East Journal of Cancer
Background: Radiation-induced hyposalivation is a common complication of radiotherapy for head and neck cancers. The most commonly prescribed medication for hyposalivation is pilocarpine. However, due to the numerous systemic side-effects associated with

The inhibitory effects of Npas4 on seizures in pilocarpine-induced epileptic rats.

PLoS ONE, 2014
To explore the effects of neuronal Per-Arnt-Sim domain protein 4 (Npas4) on seizures in pilocarpine-induced epileptic rats, Npas4 expression was detected by double-label immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, and Western blotting in the brains of ...

Clock Genes Regulate Ca2+ Signaling and Mitochondrial Bioenergetics to Inhibit Sjögren Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Although Ca2+ signaling and metabolism have been identified as key determinants for the development of Sjögren disease (SjD), the intricate connection between them and salivary gland physiology remains poorly understood. Methods Fluorescence‐based Ca2+ imaging, RNA sequencing, and mitochondrial activity were used to investigate the effects of
