Acute Seizure Activity Promotes Lipid Peroxidation, Increased Nitrite Levels and Adaptive Pathways Against Oxidative Stress in the Frontal Cortex and Striatum

Previous experiments have shown that the generation of free radicals in rat brain homogenates is increased following pilocarpine-induced seizures and status epilepticus (SE). This study was aimed at investigating the changes in neurochemical mechanisms such as lipid peroxidation levels, nitrite cont...
