Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors are widely expressed in the brain and its association with nitric oxide is suggestive of its role in epilepsy. In this study, we investigated the effects of exenatide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, on the epileptiform activity induced by penicillin injection. The study used 72 male Wistar albino rats in 9 groups. All groups except the last group which received only exenatide, received intracortical penicillin injection to induce epileptiform activity. Exenatide was intraperitoneally injected in II-IV groups, at doses of 50, 100, 200 μ g/kg, respectively. Sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and N ω -nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) were injected to the V-VIII groups either alone or with exenatide. Electrocorticography was recorded for 3 h. While administration of 200 μ g/kg exenatide reduced the frequency of epileptiform activity, 50 and 100 μ g/kg doses of exenatide were not effective. When the effective dose of exenatide and the SNP were injected together the spike frequency decreased significantly. When the effective dose of exenatide was given with L-NAME spike frequency significantly decreased only between 90 and 110 min. There was no statistically significant difference in terms of latency and amplitude between the experimental groups. Exenatide had an anticonvulsant effect in penicillin-induced acute epilepsy model which is possibly via nitric oxide and include another pathway since its effect was partially blocked by L-NAME and potentiated by SNP.

Ovarian activity has a complex physiology and is related to oocyte quality in women. This study investigates the effects of ovarian activity with chronic stress (CS) on behavioural parameters, estrous cycles, and ovarian follicular development in rats. Here, we examined the ovarian microenvironment against exposure to stress and to elucidate the stress-related ovarian molecular mechanisms. Twenty female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the control and the CS groups. The estrous cycle phases were detected by vaginal smear. Rats in the CS group were immobilized 1 h/day for 8 weeks. At the end of the experiment, all animals were subjected to behavioral tests in their metestrus phase and sacrificed on the other day (diestrus phase). The ovaries were harvested for histological analysis, blood samples were taken to measure cortisol levels. The immunoreactivities of ovarian IGF-1, AMH and Bcl-2 proteins were evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Here, we have studied CS-induced prolonged estrous cycles. We showed a lower number of developing follicles but the higher number of atretic follicles in the CS group’s ovaries. The dominant structure of ovarian histology was large interstitial glands. CS caused decreases in ovarian Bcl-2, IGF-1 and AMH immunoreactivities which have roles in follicular development. Also, anxiety was detected in CS-exposed animals. Our results showed that chronic restrainer stress can be a serious endocrine disrupter by reducing ovarian paracrine
