چکیده
Objective: Pistacia lentiscus L. (Mastaki), from the Anacardiaceae family, is known for its polyphenolic properties. Regarding its role in oxidative stress, we aimed to investigate its beneficial effects on pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) model of acute seizure.Materials and Methods: Acute tonic-clonic seizures were induced by PTZ (۸۰ mg/kg; i.p.), with seizure scores assessment done within ۳۰ min using the Racine scales. In the current study, a total of ۷۰ male Wistar rats were randomly added into seven groups of ۱۰: (۱) Control, (۲) PTZ (۸۰ mg/kg), (۳) Vehicle (distilled water + PTZ), (۴-۶) P. lentiscus L. gum groups + PTZ, and (۷) Diazepam (۰.۳ mg/kg) + PTZ. Groups ۳-۶ received oral (gavage) distilled water or P. lentiscus L. gum (۱۰۰, ۲۰۰, or ۴۰۰ mg/kg), ۴۰ min before a single intraperitoneal injection of PTZ. Finally, hippocampal tissues were assessed for the determination of oxidative stress parameters.Results: P. lentiscus gum (۴۰۰ mg/kg) significantly increased latencies to the stages ۲, ۴, and ۵ of seizure while reduced stage ۵ duration in comparison with the PTZ group. Treatment with P. lentiscus also decreased elevated malondialdehyde (MDA) levels induced by PTZ and increased glutathione (GSH) concentration, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities in comparison with the PTZ group.Conclusion: This study’s findings indicate that P. lentiscus L. possesses anticonvulsant properties, which may be partially attributed to its antioxidant activity, offering protection against oxidative stress.کلیدواژه ها
