[Expression of α(5) subunit of extrasynaptic GABA(A) receptor in insular-kindled rats].

Objective: To explore the expression of α(5) subunit of extrasynaptic GABA(A) receptor in insular electrical kindled rats and analyze its significance.

Methods: A total of 96 male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into kindled, sham-operated and control groups (n = 32). And each group was further divided into 2 sub-groups at different time points.

[Expression of neuropeptides ghrelin and Nesfatin-1 in kainic acid kindling rats].

Objective: To observed the post-seizure expression level of neuropeptides ghrelin and Nesfatin-1 between the untreated and treated groups in kainic acid-kindling rats and understand the significance of their basic expressions.

Methods: The male S-D rats were divided randomly into NS and VPA groups after seizure. Each group was divided into 7 subgroups of 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 3 d, 7 d and 14 d.

[mRNA expression of activity-regulated cytoskeletal-associated protein in hippocampus induced by insular-kindled rats].

Objective: To investigate the expression of Arc mRNA in insular electrical kindled and single electrical stimulated rats and its significance.

Methods: Male SD rats were divided randomly into kindled group, single electrical stimulated group, sham-operated group and control group. Each group was divided into 2 sub-groups at different time points.
