pilocarpine and Atrophy

pilocarpine has been researched along with Atrophy in 9 studies

Pilocarpine: A slowly hydrolyzed muscarinic agonist with no nicotinic effects. Pilocarpine is used as a miotic and in the treatment of glaucoma.
(+)-pilocarpine : The (+)-enantiomer of pilocarpine.

Atrophy: Decrease in the size of a cell, tissue, organ, or multiple organs, associated with a variety of pathological conditions such as abnormal cellular changes, ischemia, malnutrition, or hormonal changes.

"Systemic administration of pilocarpine, which results in status epilepticus followed by recurrent seizures in rats, is a widely used experimental model of chronic limbic epilepsy."7.70Persistence and atrophy of septal/diagonal band neurons expressing the p75 neurotrophin receptor in pilocarpine-induced chronic epilepsy in the rat. ( Amado, D; Bentivoglio, M; Cavalheiro, EA; Correia, L, 1998)
"The present study examined whether status epilepticus (SE) induced by LiCl-pilocarpine in immature rats (postnatal day [P]12) interferes with normal development; leads to progressive epileptogenesis, or cognitive decline and to pathology similar to that seen in human temporal lobe epilepsy."3.79Are morphologic and functional consequences of status epilepticus in infant rats progressive? ( Kubová, H; Mareš, P, 2013)
"Time-dependent atrophy of cerebral space and enlargement of the lateral ventricles were noted in healthy rats 1 to 100 days after the induction of seizures by a single systemic injection of lithium and pilocarpine."3.70Ventricular dilation over several weeks following induction of excitotoxic (systemic lithium/pilocarpine) lesions: potential role of damage to the substantia nigra reticulata.
