phenobarbital and Nerve Degeneration

phenobarbital has been researched along with Nerve Degeneration in 17 studies

Phenobarbital: A barbituric acid derivative that acts as a nonselective central nervous system depressant. It potentiates GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID action on GABA-A RECEPTORS, and modulates chloride currents through receptor channels. It also inhibits glutamate induced depolarizations.
phenobarbital : A member of the class of barbiturates, the structure of which is that of barbituric acid substituted at C-5 by ethyl and phenyl groups.

Nerve Degeneration: Loss of functional activity and trophic degeneration of nerve axons and their terminal arborizations following the destruction of their cells of origin or interruption of their continuity with these cells. The pathology is characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases. Often the process of nerve degeneration is studied in research on neuroanatomical localization and correlation of the neurophysiology of neural pathways.

( Gailus, B; Gericke, B; Johne, M; Käufer, C; Löscher, W; Römermann, K, 2021)
" This may due in part to vascular damage, neuroinflammation and neuronal degeneration in the diencephalon, which is seen in animal models of pyrithiamine-enhanced thiamine deficiency."3.88Microglial activation and vascular responses that are associated with early thalamic neurodegeneration resulting from thiamine deficiency. ( Bowyer, JF; Hanig, JP; Sarkar, S; Tranter, KM, 2018)
"Co-treatment with caffeine significantly decreased these upregulations at all time points investigated, while caffeine without phenobarbital resulted in increased expression of TNFα, IL-1β, and IL-18, but not IFNγ at 6 h."1.46Caffeine Protects Against Anticonvulsant-Induced Neurotoxicity in the Developing Rat Brain. ( Bendix, I; Bührer, C; Endesfelder, S; Schiller, C; Sifringer, M; Weichelt, U, 2017)

( He, X; Liu, W; Liu, Y; Peng, B; Wang, H; Wang, Y; Yin, J; Yu, F, 2011)
"As phenobarbital treatment did not protect against neuronal damage in CA3 or other regions of the hippocampus, the circuitry of the dentate gyrus was implicated as a locus of cellular alterations that influenced the development of kindling."1.28Alteration of long-lasting structural and functional effects of kainic acid in the hippocampus by brief treatment with phenobarbital.
