Pioglitazone, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma agonist, delayed the development of seizure responses and mildly shortened the duration of convulsion of genetically epileptic EL mice. mRNA levels of IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha before seizure and mRNA levels of IL-6 and TNF-alpha after seizure were decreased in the brains of the mice with pioglitazone. These results suggest that pioglitazone may have ameliorative effects on epileptic seizure responses partly through the reduction of inflammatory responses in the brain.
