The aim of this study is to investigate the anticonvulsant effect of aqueous extract of Centella asiatica (CA) in functionally different muscles with reference to lipid metabolism during pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) induced epilepsy and also during pre-treatment with aqueous extract of CA. Epilepsy is a convulsive episode and is the most frequent neurodegenerative disorder affecting about 50 million people world-wide. Lipid profiles are important components of the neurochemical environment in the muscles of rat. They serve several functions in the biological systems such as structural components of the membranes, storage and transport forms of metabolic fuel, protective coating on the surface concerned in cell recognition, species specifity and tissue immunity. The rats were divided into 4 groups having 6 in each group: (1) Control group received saline, (2) PTZ-induced epileptic group (60 mg/Kg, i.p.), (3) Epileptic group pretreated with aqueous extract (AE) and (4) Epileptic group pretreated with diazepam 2mg/kg body weight. PTZ-induced epilepsy increased the Lipid peeroxidation and decreased the Phospholipids, Total Cholesterol and Triglycerides in all the muscles (White vastus, Red vastus, Soleus and Gastrocnemius). Pre-treatment with aqueous extract (AE) showed a conspicuous recovery. From the results, it is acknowledged that the bioactive factors present in aqueous extract of CA offered protection against PTZ-induced alterations occurred in different muscles.
