PUFAs, A Dietary Supplement and Seizure Threshold
Pediatric Neurology Briefs, 2013 Investigators at the University of Toronto, Canada studied the effects of chronic dietary supplementation with omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) derived from fish oil on seizure thresholds in the amygdala as well as on blood and brain PUFA ...

Enhanced sensitivity of laforin- and malin-deficient mice to the convulsant agent pentylenetetrazole
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014 Lafora disease is a rare form of inherited progressive myoclonus epilepsy caused by mutations in the EPM2A gene encoding laforin, or in the EPM2B gene, which encodes malin.

Iron Deficiency Affects Seizure Susceptibility in a Time- and Sex-Specific Manner
ASN Neuro, 2017 Iron deficiency (ID) affects more than three billion people worldwide making it the most common micronutrient deficiency. ID is most prevalent during gestation and early life, which is of particular concern since its impact on the developing central ...

The Effect of Low-Doses of Caffeine and Taurine on Convulsive Seizure Parameters in Rats
Behavioral Sciences, 2020 Introduction: Caffeine, an adenosine-receptor blocker, is believed to have neuronal excitatory effects, while Taurine, a mammalian amino acid, was shown to have neuroinhibitory effects.

Rapeseed oil and magnesium manipulations affect the seizure threshold to kainate in mice*
Oléagineux, Corps gras, Lipides, 2011 We have previously shown that the drop in N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-induced seizure threshold caused by nutritional magnesium deprivation responded well to the w-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) alpha-linolenate (ALA) (5% rapeseed oil) diet when ...

Population Ecology, EarlyView.Bear management changes management actions according to the horizontal axis of the population size and the vertical axis of the number of nuisance bears. Aiming for the target population size of Ntar, Actions I and II protect the bears, and Action IV reduces the population.

Population Ecology, EarlyView.Population size and dynamics fundamentally shape speciation by influencing genetic drift, founder events, and adaptive potential. Small populations may speciate rapidly due to stronger drift, whereas large populations harbor more genetic diversity, which can alter divergence trajectories. We highlight theoretical models that incorporate population size

Circulating histones as clinical biomarkers in critically ill conditions
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Circulating histones are emerging as promising biomarkers in critical illness due to their diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential. Detection methods such as ELISA and mass spectrometry provide reliable approaches for quantifying histone levels in plasma samples.
