Epilepsy is one of the oldest neurological conditions known to humankind. It is known that
oxidative stress and generation of reactive oxygen species are a cause and consequence of …

Oxidative stress and generation of reactive oxygen species are strongly implicated in a
number of neuronal and neuromuscular disorders, including epilepsy. The functions of …

Purpose: Only recently has it become known that oxidative stress and generation of reactive
oxygen species are the cause and the consequence of epileptic seizures. Due to the …

Selenoproteins are important for normal brain function, and decreased function of
selenoproteins can lead to impaired cognitive function and neurological disorders. This …

PURPOSE: The accumulation of free radicals may lead to seizures and increase the risk of
their recurrence. Glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase are 2 major enzymes …

Current reports on trace elements, oxidative stress, and the effect of antiepileptic drugs are
poor and controversial. We aimed to review effects of most common used antiepileptics on …

Molecular biology has recently contributed significantly to the recognition of selenium (Se) 2
and Se-dependent enzymes as modulators of brain function. Increased oxidative stress has …

Selenium (34Se), an antioxidant trace element, is an important regulator of brain function.
These beneficial properties that Se possesses are attributed to its ability to be incorporated …

Eighteen years ago, unexpected epileptic seizures in Selenop-knockout mice pointed to a
potentially novel, possibly underestimated, and previously difficult to study role of selenium …

Multiple biological functions of selenium manifest themselves mainly via 25 selenoproteins
that have selenocysteine at their active centre. Selenium is vital for the brain and seems to …
