The protective effect of hydroxylated fullerene pretreatment on pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus

Status epilepticus (SE) is a neurological emergency. The pathological hallmark of neuronal damage after epileptic seizures could be the chain reaction of oxygen free radicals. Hydroxylated fullerenes (HFs) are novel and effective free radical scavengers, which play an important role in various neurological diseases. However, whether they have a protective effect against epileptic seizures remains elusive. Our study explores the effect of...
