reserpine and Epilepsy

reserpine has been researched along with Epilepsy in 29 studies

Reserpine: An alkaloid found in the roots of Rauwolfia serpentina and R. vomitoria. Reserpine inhibits the uptake of norepinephrine into storage vesicles resulting in depletion of catecholamines and serotonin from central and peripheral axon terminals. It has been used as an antihypertensive and an antipsychotic as well as a research tool, but its adverse effects limit its clinical use.
reserpine : An alkaloid found in the roots of Rauwolfia serpentina and R. vomitoria.

Epilepsy: A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy). (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p313)

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Reserpine pretreatment could also diminish CL seizure-induced accumulation of cAMP."1.28[Effect of reserpine on both CL seizures and cAMP levels in seizure mice brain]. ( Chen, Q; Huang, M; Xie, Y, 1990)
"Pretreatment with reserpine had no effect on either the time to onset or duration of maximal dentate activation."1.28Cholinergic and adrenergic agents modify the initiation and termination of epileptic discharges in the dentate gyrus. ( Lothman, EW; Stringer, JL, 1991)
"Correlation between the kindled seizure susceptibility and brain monoamine levels was investigated in the hippocampal and amygdaloid kindled cats."1.26[Correlation between seizure susceptibility and brain catecholamine levels. An experimental study using a kindling preparation]. ( Mitsunobu, K; Nakashima, T; Otsuki, S; Sato, M, 1976)
