Studies

Ficus platyphylla alleviates seizure severity and neurobehavioral comorbidities in pentylenetetrazole-kindled rats via modulation of oxidative stress.

Summary

Researchers studied the effects of Ficus platyphylla extract on seizure severity, cell degeneration, and behavioral changes in PTZ-kindled rats. FP reduced these effects, suggesting potential treatment for epilepsy and neuropsychiatric comorbidities.
