Comparative estimation of cerebroprotective and other pharmacological properties plants family empetraceae

Abstract

The successful treatment of patients with epilepsy in folk and traditional medicine by plant Empetrum is not based on their anticonvulsive properties which were not identified experimentally. Only ability to raise tolerance to convulsant poisons was found in certain preparations from empetraceae, but not full protection. Cerebroprotective properties of Empetrum plants are manifested in preserving and restoration of conditional and unconditional reflex behavior of mice after injury, preventing motionless and mortality after electrical shock. Certain preparations from Empetrum plants are effective in hypoxia models.
