mTOR inhibition modulates epileptogenesis, seizures and depressive behavior in a genetic rat model of absence epilepsy

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of rapamycin (mTOR inhibitor) on the development of absence seizures and seizure parameters as well as depressive-like behavior in WAG/Rij rats, a genetic model of absence epilepsy, epileptogenesis and mild-depression comorbidity.
Journal ArticleDOI

New evidence for a critical role of elastin in calcification of native heart valves: immunohistochemical and ultrastructural study with literature review

TL;DR: Perrotta I, Russo E, Camastra C, Filice G, Di Mizio G, Colosimo F, Ricci P, Tripepi S, Amorosi A, Triumbari F & Donato G’(2011) Histopathology59, 504–513.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protective activity of α-lactoalbumin (ALAC), a whey protein rich in tryptophan, in rodent models of epileptogenesis

TL;DR: ALAC showed protecting properties in both models of epileptogenesis, reducing spontaneous seizures development and antiseizure properties at some of the doses tested, and its effects are likely mediated by the inhibition of NMDA receptors at the glycine binding site.
