Anticonvulsant Evaluation: IV-PTZ and MES

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Anticonvulsant evaluation in the IV-PTZ tests (clonic convulsions), was performed as described previously (10 (link), 11 ). Anticonvulsant evaluation in the MES test (tonic convulsions), was performed using following procedure (13 ). Tonic convulsions the hind extremities of mice were induced by passing alternating current (50 Hz, 35 mA and 0.2 sec) from an electroconvulsive therapy apparatus (Model 7800, Ugo Basile, Camerio, Italy) via ear electrodes. Electrodes were moistened by normal saline before attaching to the ear of mouse to improve electrode contact. The current which used was predetermined before the experiment and the current showed to cause hind limb extension in all the mice. Data are expressed in terms of percent protection which is the percentage of animals in each group that did not induce hind-limb extension or death after electroshock.

Citicoline modulation of ECT-induced seizure

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To examine the effect of citicoline in modulation of susceptibility to ECT-induced seizure [26 , 27 (link), 28 ], an electroconvulsive therapy apparatus (Model 7800, Ugo Basile, Camerio, Italy) was applied. Tonic convulsions of the hind extremities of mice were induced by passing alternating current (50 Hz, 50 mA and 0.2 s) via ear electrodes. In order to improve electrode contact, the electrodes were moistened with normal saline before being attached to the ears of mice. Electroshock induces a continuum of motor convulsions that are dependent on the intensity of the electrical stimulation current. The current used was predetermined before experimentation and was the current that caused hind limb extension in all mice in the trials. Data were expressed as the duration of tonic hind-limb extension (THE) after ECT.

Dairy Modulation of Electroshock Seizures

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To access the effects of dairy products in the modulation of susceptibility to an electroshock-induced seizure, an electroconvulsive therapy apparatus (Model 7800, Ugo Basile, Camerio, Italy) was used. By passing alternating current (50 Hz, 50 mA and 0.2 s) through ear electrodes, tonic convulsions of the mice hind extremities were induced. In order to improve electrode contact, the electrodes were moistened with normal saline before being attached to the ears of mice. Electroshock induces a continuum of motor convulsions which are dependent on the intensity of the electrical stimulation current. The current used was predetermined before experimentation and was the current that caused hind limb extension in all mice in the experiment. Data were expressed as the duration of tonic hind-limb extension (THE) after electroshock-induced seizure.

Anticonvulsant Effects of Melissa officinalis Essential Oil

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The acute anticonvulsant effects of MO in mice were assessed as described by Bum et al. (2001) (link) and Chindo et al. (2009 (link); 2014) (link) with modifications. Briefly, pentylenetetrazole (PTZ, Carl Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany, 85 mg/kg) was administered (i.p.) 30 min post-administration of the essential oil or phenytoin to induce convulsions (seizures) in mice. An electroconvulsive therapy machine (Ugo Basile, Model 7800) was used to induce seizures through corneal electrodes in the maximal electroshock seizure (MES) study. The current, impact duration, and frequency used in the entire study are about 150 mA, 0.2 s, and 50 Hz, respectively. The treated groups received M. officinalis essential oil (MO, 10–200 mg/kg). MO was solubilized in 0.5% tween80 in normal saline and these doses of MO were selected based on previous studies in our Lab (unpublished data). phenytoin (Sigma Chemical Co.) was used as the standard anticonvulsant drug. In both the PTZ and MES acute tests, the ability of MO (10–200 mg/kg) or phenytoin (10 and 25 mg/kg) to prevent or delay tonic hind limb extension or death of mice connotes anticonvulsant activity (Chindo et al., 2009 (link)).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
