melatonin and Epilepsy, Tonic-Clonic

melatonin has been researched along with Epilepsy, Tonic-Clonic in 3 studies

Epilepsy, Tonic-Clonic: A generalized seizure disorder characterized by recurrent major motor seizures. The initial brief tonic phase is marked by trunk flexion followed by diffuse extension of the trunk and extremities. The clonic phase features rhythmic flexor contractions of the trunk and limbs, pupillary dilation, elevations of blood pressure and pulse, urinary incontinence, and tongue biting. This is followed by a profound state of depressed consciousness (post-ictal state) which gradually improves over minutes to hours. The disorder may be cryptogenic, familial, or symptomatic (caused by an identified disease process). (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p329)

"Melatonin co-treatment against KA did not affect the regulation of Trx."1.32Effect of melatonin cotreatment against kainic acid on coenzyme Q10, lipid peroxidation and Trx mRNA in rat hippocampus. ( Kilinc, E; Kocturk, S; Resmi, H; Sozmen, EY; Yalcin, A, 2004)
" Because the secretion of melatonin in the pineal gland is regulated primarily by beta 1-adrenoceptors, in the present study we investigated the effect of chronic administration of ECS on pineal beta-adrenergic responsiveness to isoproterenol."1.29Pineal response to isoproterenol in rats chronically treated with electroconvulsive shock.
