| summary | Omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are dietary fatty
acids that are involved in a myriad of physiologic processes in the brain. There is some evidence suggesting that PUFAs-and particularly omega-3 PUFAs-may have anticonvulsant effects, both in humans and in
animals. IThe lecture will discuss the evidence related to the antiseizure properties of the n-3 PUFAs, discuss their possible mechanism(s) of action, and make recommendations for future clinical trials. In general, the available data from cell cultures and whole animal studies support the idea that the n-3 PUFAs have antiseizure properties. Based on recent data, we I will discuss
what can we learn from experimental study to design future clinical trials. |
