pilocarpine and Weight Gain

pilocarpine has been researched along with Weight Gain 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.

Weight Gain: Increase in BODY WEIGHT over existing weight.

" We investigated the effects of ketogenic diets (KDs) containing coconut oil, triheptanoin, or soybean oil on pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus (SE) in rats."7.81Effects of ketogenic diets on the occurrence of pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus of rats. ( Barros, EM; Bueno, NB; Cabral-Junior, CR; da Rocha Ataide, T; Domingos, BR; Ferreira, RC; Galvão, JA; Gama, IR; Melo, IT; Oliveira, SL; Pereira, WS; Trindade-Filho, EM, 2015)
"Seizures were induced in female Wistar albino rats at either 35 or 55 days of age with a single systemic injection of lithium (3 mEq/kg) and pilocarpine (30 mg/kg); the rats were then treated with the atypical neuroleptic acepromazine (25 mg/kg)."7.73Extreme obesity in female rats following prepuberal induction of lithium-pilocarpine seizures and a single injection of acepromazine. ( Persinger, MA; St-Pierre, LS, 2005)
" To determine if mTOR activation is necessary for abnormal granule cell development, transgenic mice that harbored fluorescently-labeled adult-born granule cells were treated with rapamycin following pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus."3.83Impact of rapamycin on status epilepticus induced hippocampal pathology and weight gain. ( Danzer, SC; Garcia-Cairasco, N; Hester, MS; Hosford, BE; LaSarge, CL; Liska, JP; Rolle, IJ; Santos, VR; Singh, SP, 2016)

"Extreme obesity slowly develops in female rats over the months following seizures induced by a single systemic injection of lithium and pilocarpine if the resulting limbic seizures are treated with the atypical neuroleptic acepromazine (but not with ketamine)."3.75Insidious weight gain in prepubertal seized rats treated with an atypical neuroleptic: the role of food consumption, fluid consumption, and spontaneous ambulatory activity.

"We investigated the influence of the streptozocin (STZ)-diabetic state on the dose-response curves for salivary flow and protein content in saliva stimulated by pilocarpine and noradrenaline in mice."1.29The streptozocin-diabetic state depresses saliva secretion stimulated by pilocarpine and noradrenaline in mice.
