Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of the Traditional Chinese medicine formula NRICM101 on epilepsy, specifically its ability to reduce seizures induced by kainic acid (KA) in rats.
- NRICM101 significantly decreases seizure behavior, neuronal loss, and glutamate levels while enhancing protective proteins in the brain, and its effects are comparable to the established antiseizure drug carbamazepine.
- The formula also shows promising neuroprotective effects by mitigating inflammation and cell death in the brain without causing harm to the liver or kidneys, suggesting its potential for managing epilepsy.
