Abstract Epilepsy is, unquestionably, one of the commonest neurological disorders. The mechanism of epileptogenesis is not clearly established (Kurekci et al., 1995).In 1988, Davjson et al., postulated that there is a role for free radicals in numerous neurological disorders. As the brain contains large amount of lipid in myelin sheaths, it is considered as a logical target of free radicals damage (Choi, 1993). Thus, the hypothesis that free radicals are involved in the pathogenesis of certain central nervous system (CNS) diseases, has gained increasing popularity in recent years (Choi, 1993). |
