Antiseizure Effects of Ketogenic Diet on Seizures Induced with Pentylenetetrazole, 4-Aminopyridine and Strychnine in Wistar Rats.[Pubmed:28262846]

Niger J Physiol Sci. 2017 Mar 6;31(2):115-119.

The ketogenic diet (KD) is a cheap and effective alternative therapy for most epilepsy. There are paucity of experimental data in Nigeria on the usefulness of KD in epilepsy models. This is likely to be responsible for the poor clinical acceptability of the diet in the country. This study therefore aimed at providing experimental data on usefulness of KD on seizure models. The study used 64 Wistar rats that were divided into two dietary groups [normal diet (ND) and ketogenic diet (KD)]. Animal in each group were fed for 35days. Medium chain triglyceride ketogenic diet (MCT-KD) was used and it consisted of 15% carbohydrate in normal rat chow long with 5ml sunflower oil (25% (v/w). The normal diet was the usual rat chow. Seizures were induced with one of Pentelyntetrazole (PTZ), 4-Aminopyridine (AP) and Strychnine (STR). Fasting glucose, ketosis level and serum chemistry were determined and seizure parameters recorded. Serum ketosis was significantly higher in MCT-KD-fed rats (12.7 +/-2.6) than ND-fed (5.17+/-0.86) rats. Fasting blood glucose was higher in ND-fed rats (5.3+/-0.9mMol/l) than in MCT-KD fed rats (5.1+/-0.5mMol/l) with p=0.9. Seizure latency was significantly prolonged in ND-fed compared with MCT-KD fed rats after PTZ-induced seizures (61+/-9sec vs 570+/-34sec) and AP-induced seizures (49+/-11sec vs 483+/-41sec). The difference after Str-induced seizure (51+/-7 vs 62+/-8 sec) was not significan. The differences in seizure duration between ND-fed and MCT-KD fed rats with PTZ (4296+/-77sec vs 366+/-46sec) and with AP (5238+/-102sec vs 480+/-67sec) were significant (p<0.05), but not with STR (3841+/-94sec vs 3510+/-89sec) respectively. The mean serum Na+ was significantly higher in MCT-KD fed (141.7+/-2.1mMol/l) than ND-fed rats (137+/-2.3mMol/l). There was no significant difference in mean values of other serum electrolytes between the MCT-KD fed and ND-fed animals. MCT-KD caused increase resistance to PTZ-and AP-induced seizures, but has no effect on STR-induced seizures. This antiseizure property is probably mediated through GABAergic receptors (PTZ effect) and blockade of membrane bound KATP channels (AP effect) with some enhancement by serum ketosis.

Cellular responses to recurrent pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures in the adult zebrafish brain.[Pubmed:28238851]

Neuroscience. 2017 May 4;349:118-127.

A seizure is a sustained increase in brain electrical activity that can result in loss of consciousness and injury. Understanding how the brain responds to seizures is important for development of new treatment strategies for epilepsy, a neurological condition characterized by recurrent and unprovoked seizures. Pharmacological induction of seizures in rodent models results in a myriad of cellular alterations, including inflammation, angiogenesis, and adult neurogenesis. The purpose of this study is to investigate the cellular responses to recurrent Pentylenetetrazole seizures in the adult zebrafish brain. We subjected zebrafish to five once-daily Pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures and characterized the cellular consequences of these seizures. In response to recurrent seizures, we found histologic evidence of vasodilatation, perivascular leukocyte egress and leukocyte proliferation suggesting seizure-induced acute CNS inflammation. We also found evidence of increased proliferation, neurogenesis, and reactive gliosis following Pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures. Collectively, our results suggest that the cellular responses to seizures in the adult zebrafish brain are similar to those observed in mammalian brains.

Protective effect of spermine against pentylenetetrazole kindling epilepsy induced comorbidities in mice.[Pubmed:28212867]

Neurosci Res. 2017 Jul;120:8-17.

Nitric oxide (NO), an important intracellular signaling molecule is involved in modulation of neuronal transmission. The NO level increases during epileptic activity in animal models of epilepsy. However, its role in epileptic activity remains controversial. Spermine is an endogenous polyamine; possesses anti-oxidant property and has ability to modulate ion channels and NO synthase activity. Therefore, the present study was designed to investigate the role of NO pathway in the neuroprotective effect of spermine, in Pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) induced kindling epilepsy in mice. PTZ (35mg/kg; intraperitoneal, i.p.) was administered on every alternate day up to 29days and challenge test was performed on 33rd day. From 15th day, spermine (5 and 10mg/kg; i.p.), L-NAME (10mg/kg; i.p), l-Arginine (50mg/kg; i.p) and sodium valproate (400mg/kg; i.p.) were administered up to 33rd day. Animals were sacrificed on 34th day for estimation of biochemical and neurotransmitters. Pretreatment with spermine, considerably, reversed the PTZ induced alterations. Further, pretreatment of L-NAME and l-Arginine with 5 and 10mg/kg; i.p. spermine, respectively, leads to an increase and decrease in its protective effects. The present study suggests the involvement of NO pathway in the protective effect of spermine against PTZ-induced kindling epilepsy in mice.

The effects of soy and tamoxifen on apoptosis in the hippocampus and dentate gyrus in a pentylenetetrazole-induced seizure model of ovariectomized rats.[Pubmed:28283880]

Anat Sci Int. 2018 Mar;93(2):218-230.

The effects of tamoxifen and soy on apoptosis of the hippocampus and dentate gyrus of ovariectomized rats after repeated seizures were investigated. Female rats were divided into: (1) Control, (2) Sham, (3) Sham-Tamoxifen (Sham-T), (4) Ovariectomized (OVX), (5) OVX-Tamoxifen (OVX-T), (6)OVX-Soy(OVX-S) and (7) OVX-S-T. The animals in the OVX-S, OVX-T and OVX-S-T groups received soy extract (60 mg/kg; i.p.), tamoxifen (10 mg/kg) or both for 2 weeks before induction of seizures. The animals in these groups additionally received the mentioned treatments before each injection of Pentylenetetrazole (PTZ; 40 mg/kg) for 6 days. The animals in the Sham and OVX groups received a vehicle of tamoxifen and soy. A significant decrease in the seizure score and TUNEL-positive neurons was seen in the OVX group compared to the Sham (P < 0.001). The animals in both the OVX-T and OVX-S groups had a significantly higher seizure score as well as number of TUNEL-positive neurons compared to the OVX group (P < 0.01-P < 0.001). Co-treatment of the OVX rats by the extract and tamoxifen decreased the seizure score and number of TUNEL-positive neurons compared to OVX-S (P < 0.001). Treatment of the OVX rats by either soy or tamoxifen increased the seizure score as well as the number of TUNEL-positive neurons in the hippocampal formation. Co-administration of tamoxifen and soy extract inhibited the effects of the soy extract and tamoxifen when they were administered alone. It might be suggested that both soy and tamoxifen have agonistic effects on estrogen receptors by changing the seizure severity.

Acute pentylenetetrazol injection reduces rat GABAA receptor mRNA levels and GABA stimulation of benzodiazepine binding with No effect on benzodiazepine binding site density.[Pubmed:10336561]

J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 1999 Jun;289(3):1626-33.

The effects of a single convulsive dose of pentylenetetrazol (PTZ, 45 mg/kg i.p.) on rat brain gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors were studied. Selected GABAA receptor subunit mRNAs were measured by Northern blot analysis (with beta-actin mRNA as a standard). Four hours after PTZ, the GABAA receptor gamma2-mRNA was decreased in hippocampus, cerebral cortex, and cerebellum; alpha1-mRNA was decreased in cerebellum; and beta2 subunit mRNA was decreased in cortex and cerebellum. The alpha5 subunit mRNA level was not altered. Those mRNAs that had been reduced were increased in some brain regions at the 24-h time point, and these changes reverted to control levels by 48 h. PTZ effect on GABAA receptors was also studied by autoradiographic binding assay with the benzodiazepine agonist [3H]flunitrazepam (FNP), the GABAA agonist [3H]muscimol, and the benzodiazepine antagonist [3H]flumazenil. There was an overall decrease in [3H]FNP binding 12 but not 24 h after PTZ treatment. In contrast, [3H]muscimol binding was minimally affected, and [3H]flumazenil binding was unchanged after PTZ treatment. Additional binding studies were performed with well-washed cerebral cortical homogenates to minimize the amount of endogenous GABA. There was no PTZ effect on specific [3H]FNP binding. However, there was a significant reduction in the stimulation of [3H]FNP binding by GABA. The results showed that an acute injection of PTZ caused transient changes in GABAA receptor mRNA levels without altering receptor number but affected the coupling mechanism between the GABA and benzodiazepine sites of the GABAA receptor.

Pentylenetetrazol-induced kindling: early involvement of excitatory and inhibitory systems.[Pubmed:8985692]

Epilepsy Res. 1996 Dec;26(1):105-13.

Alterations in the brain of rats receiving a single non-convulsive administration pentylenetetrazol (PTZ), 30 mig/kg, i.p. (single PTZ group) were investigated and compared with those detected in fully PTZ kindled rats (chronic PTZ group). In vitro receptor autoradiography experiments showed that both single and chronic PTZ groups presented mu opioid and benzodiazepine (BDZ) receptor binding in specific brain areas. Using an antibody generated against the delta opioid receptor (DOR-1), it was found that DOR-1 like immunoreactivity was reduced in cortex and amygdala in mice following single and chronic PTZ administration. Microdialysis experiments revealed that the administration of PTZ 30 mg/kg, i.p. in freely moving rats without previous experience with the drug, induces a rise in glutamate release, detected in the first and second 10 min dialysates collected from amygdala (138% and 50%, respectively) and frontal cortex (70% and 45%, respectively) as well as aspartate in frontal cortex in the first and second PTZ-dialysates (143% and 80%, respectively). Subsequently, values returned to basal conditions. It may be speculated that decreased BDZ receptor binding results from enhanced release of GABA. On the other hand, the decrease of mu receptor binding and DOR-1 immunoreactivity observed after PTZ administration may be the result of enhanced levels of opioid peptides probably released over the kindling procedure. In conclusion, the present study indicates that PTZ-kindling is associated with an imbalance between excitatory and inhibitory systems which is apparent early in the epileptogenic process.
