Restoration of the Neurotransmitter Levels in Pentylenetetrazole Induced Seizure in Mice Brain Tissue Treated with Culcasia falcifolia Ethanol Extract | Chapter 5 | Newest Updates in Agriculture and Veterinary Science Vol. 1

 The present study shows the effect of the intoxicating extract of Culcasia falcifolia in the restoration of neurotransmitter levels in Pentylenetetrazole persuaded capture of mice intellect tissue. Culcasia falcifolia is a curative plant that is traditionally secondhand in Nandi County, Kenya in the treatment of muscle spasm. According to the study's judgments, ethanol extract of Culcasia falcifolia at doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg carcass weight significantly raised the level of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA. It also illustrated a significant increase in the levels of dopamine, noradrenaline, and serotonin when distinguished to the capture control group (PTZ treated group) and was almost equivalent to the control group. The ethanol extract of Culcasia falcifolia shown antiepileptic exercise by reducing rodent's vulnerability to seizures provoked by pentylenetetrazole and replacing the levels of GABA, serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline in their brains.
