Post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) is a common long-term risk associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI). PTE rat model, proposed by Willmore et al., is a well known model that mimics human PTE. The present study explored the lipid metabolism in this PTE rat model by using in vitro, high-resolution NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectroscopy and lipid staining based investigations. The level of gene expression, cytokines and enzyme activity was estimated. Level of TG (triglycerides), PL (phospholipids) and CHOL (cholesterol) was found to increase in brain tissue of PTE rats. This is an indication of the altered lipid metabolism in PTE rats. Level of lipid peroxidation and cytokines was enhanced in the brain tissue of PTE rats. A positive correlation was also observed in cytokines vs. lipid peroxidation. These results make available the evidence of the oxidative stress induced damage or destruction of the lipid components and also the cause of the inflammatory events in PTE rats. Antioxidant enzyme activity and respective gene expression were found to increase in brain tissue of PTE rats. A positive correlation was also observed in antioxidant enzyme's activity vs. respective enzyme gene expression and lipid peroxidation vs. activity of antioxidant enzymes. Such outcomes reflect the oxidative stress induced lipid damage responsible for production enhancement of antioxidant enzymes, which further responsible for enhancing the activity of antioxidant enzymes. A positive correlation was observed in lipid peroxidation vs. lipid components (TG, PL and CHOL) and provides the confirmatory verification of alteration in the level of lipid components. A negative correlation was observed in the level of cytokines and the quantity of TG. This showed that TG is consumed in the production of cytokines. MUA (Motor unit activity) is highly correlated with the level of LP and indicated that oxidative stress is responsible for the event of epileptogenesis. Positive correlation of MUA with RA (rearing activity) and MWM (Morris-water maze) showed that epileptogenesis also influences the memory of PTE rats. Overall results based analyses clearly indicate that the inflammatory activity and oxidative stress in brain tissue of PTE rats, which are responsible to establish a significant change in the lipid metabolism. This can be visualized through a well constructed possible pathway of altered lipid metabolism. This study will improve our understanding and approach in the field of epilepsy that need to be considered for the development of new drugs or therapy for patients with PTE. Representation of the proposed pathway of altered lipid metabolism in posttraumatic epileptic rats.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon

D004834 Epilepsy, Post-Traumatic Recurrent seizures causally related to CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA. Seizure onset may be immediate but is typically delayed for several days after the injury and may not occur for up to two years. The majority of seizures have a focal onset that correlates clinically with the site of brain injury. Cerebral cortex injuries caused by a penetrating foreign object (CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA, PENETRATING) are more likely than closed head injuries (HEAD INJURIES, CLOSED) to be associated with epilepsy. Concussive convulsions are nonepileptic phenomena that occur immediately after head injury and are characterized by tonic and clonic movements.
