CAPE prevents the oxidative damage in brain tissue induced by PTZ, scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS). Our results demonstrate that CAPE treatment which prevents free radical production and ameliorates seizure severity may be useful at least as an adjunctive treatment of seizure disorders.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccesscaffeic acid phenethyl esterseizureoxidative damagebrainArticle2912228722921567255210.1007/s11064-004-7038-y2-s2.0-11144276531Q1WOS:000225573500014Q3
