Glia activation and cytokine increase in rat hippocampus by kainic acid-induced status epilepticus during postnatal development

Glia activation and cytokine increase in rat hippocampus by kainic acid-induced status epilepticus during postnatal development

In adult rats, status epilepticus (SE) induces cytokine production by glia especially when seizures are associated with neuronal injury. This suggests that cytokines may play a role in seizure-induced neuronal damage. As SE-induced injury is age-specific, we used rats of different ages (with distinc...
