Abstract | It has long been recognized that status epilepticus can cause considerable neuronal damage, and this has become one of its defining features. The mechanisms underlying this damage are less clear. Excessive activation of NMDA receptors results in large rises in internal calcium, which eventually lead to neuronal death. Between NMDA receptor activation and neuronal death are a number of intermediary steps, key among which is the generation of free radicals and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. Although it has long been thought that mitochondria are the primary source for reactive oxygen species, more recent evidence has pointed to a prominent role of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase, an enzyme localized in cell membranes. There is burgeoning in vivo and in vitro evidence that therapies that target the production or removal of reactive oxygen species are not only effective neuroprotectants following status epilepticus, but also potently antiepileptogenic. Moreover, combining therapies targeted at inhibiting NADPH oxidase and at increasing endogenous antioxidants seems to offer the greatest benefits. |
