carbon monoxide and Epilepsy

carbon monoxide has been researched along with Epilepsy in 6 studies

Carbon Monoxide: Carbon monoxide (CO). A poisonous colorless, odorless, tasteless gas. It combines with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin, which has no oxygen carrying capacity. The resultant oxygen deprivation causes headache, dizziness, decreased pulse and respiratory rates, unconsciousness, and death. (From Merck Index, 11th ed)
carbon monoxide : A one-carbon compound in which the carbon is joined only to a single oxygen. It is a colourless, odourless, tasteless, toxic gas.

Epilepsy: A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy). (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p313)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Carbon monoxide (CO) is an endogenously produced gas sharing many properties with nitric oxide (NO), notably activating soluble guanylate cyclase and relaxing blood vessels."5.30Carbon monoxide regulates cerebral blood flow in epileptic seizures but not in hypercapnia. ( Montécot, C; Pinard, E; Seylaz, J, 1998)
" With the use of cranial window techniques, we examined cerebral vascular responses to endothelium-dependent (hypercapnia and bradykinin) and endothelium-independent (isoproterenol and sodium nitroprusside) dilators during the recovery from bicuculline-induced seizures in saline controls and in animals pretreated with a HO inhibitor, tin protoporphyrin (SnPP)."3.72Endogenous heme oxygenase prevents impairment of cerebral vascular functions caused by seizures. ( Carratu, P; Fedinec, A; Leffler, CW; Parfenova, H; Pourcyrous, M, 2003)
