Involvement of nitric oxide in the effect of caffeine on the pentylenetetrazole-induced seizure threshold in mice
Background: Effect of caffeine on seizure is controversial in animal models of epilepsy. Caffeine is non-selective antagonist of A1 and A2A adenosine receptors. Meanwhile, nitric oxide-soluble guanylate cyclase-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (NO-sGC-cGMP) pathway is partly involved in the central...
