Lipoic acid effects on glutamate and taurine concentrations in rat hippocampus after pilocarpine-induced seizures

Pilocarpine-induced seizures can be mediated by increases in oxidative stress and by cerebral amino acid changes. The present research suggests that antioxidant compounds may afford some level of neuroprotection against the neurotoxicity of seizures in cellular level. The objective of the present st...
