To explore the alteration of melatonin (MT) levels in pineal, hippocampus and serum during seizure crises and electroacupuncture (EA) anti-seizures, we established a rat seizure model bymicroinjecting benzylpenicillin into hippocampus. EA was performed on "Fengu" (DU 16) and "Jinsuo" (DU 8) acupoints in rats. Electroencephalogram (EEG) of rats was recorded and the relative power (RP) of 1 similar to 30 HZ band of EEG was analyzed. A capillary electrophoresis-electrochemical detection method was used to determine MT contents. Our results indicated that MT level was elevated in pineal and hippocampus, and first had no change then significantly evaluated in serum during seizure crisis. The elevation of MT level was greatly potentiated with 30 min EA treatment (P
