Abstract

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) have multiple protective effect on the nervous system which related to angiogenesis,neurogenesis,directly neurotrophic protection and antiapoptotic mechanisms.The study of the nervous system of VEGF focus on tumors,trauma,stroke,autoimmune diseases and neurodegenerative diseases.The study of VEGF related to epileptic seizures is relatively rare.This paper is to make a review about the neuroprotective effect of VEGF on epileptic seizure.
