pentylenetetrazole and Acute Brain Injuries

pentylenetetrazole has been researched along with Acute Brain Injuries in 24 studies

Pentylenetetrazole: A pharmaceutical agent that displays activity as a central nervous system and respiratory stimulant. It is considered a non-competitive GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID antagonist. Pentylenetetrazole has been used experimentally to study seizure phenomenon and to identify pharmaceuticals that may control seizure susceptibility.
pentetrazol : An organic heterobicyclic compound that is 1H-tetrazole in which the hydrogens at positions 1 and 5 are replaced by a pentane-1,5-diyl group. A central and respiratory stimulant, it was formerly used for the treatment of cough and other respiratory tract disorders, cardiovascular disorders including hypotension, and pruritis.

"Taken together, although the seizure threshold is reduced in naive Spry2/4(+/-) mice, neurodegeneration and GCD is mitigated following KA induced hippocampal lesions, identifying Spry proteins as possible pharmacological targets in brain injuries resulting in neurodegeneration."5.43Sprouty2 and -4 hypomorphism promotes neuronal survival and astrocytosis in a mouse model of kainic acid induced neuronal damage.

" The rats were decapitated at the 24th or 72nd hour of seizures and brain tissues were obtained for histopathological examination and for measuring levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), reactive oxygen radicals and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity."3.85Obestatin improves oxidative brain damage and memory dysfunction in rats induced with an epileptic seizure.

"What is the central question of this study? Could different hormonally active substances, including oestrogen receptor (ER) agonists, protect against oxidative brain damage and memory impairment induced by a single epileptic seizure in rats? If so, which signalling mechanisms are involved in their anti-inflammatory effects? What is the main finding and its importance? Chronic administration of oestrogen, progesterone, ER modulators/agonists or blockade of testosterone exhibited anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions on single seizure-induced neuronal injury, while ER agonists additionally improved memory function and up-regulated CREB signalling and hippocampal GABA(A)α1 receptor density, suggesting that ERα or ERβ receptor activation may be beneficial in protecting against seizure-related oxidative brain injury and cognitive dysfunction."1.51Oestrogen receptor ERα and ERβ agonists ameliorate oxidative brain injury and improve memory dysfunction in rats with an epileptic seizure.

"These data suggest that convulsive seizures can be obtained in FPI-treated rats when NSS is used as an inclusion criterion to select rats with severe injury."1.48Convulsive seizures and EEG spikes after lateral fluid-percussion injury in the rat. ( Kelly, W; MacWilliams, Z; Patterson, D; Poulsen, A; Poulsen, D; Rau, T; Smith, D, 2018)
