Aim: To evaluate the possible neuroprotective effects of ketamine and dantrolene on the hippocampal apoptosis and spatial learning in rats exposed to repeated electroconvulsive seizures (ECS) as a model of status epilepticus (SE).
Material And Methods: Twenty-four rats were assigned to 4 groups. 1st Group was Sham.
Aim: To investigate possible correlations between serum S100B levels and microglial/astrocytic activation in status epilepticus (SE) in lithium-pilocarpine-exposed rat hippocampi and whether serum S100B levels linearly reflect neuroinflammation. Additionally, to assess the effects of minocycline (M), an inhibitor of neuroinflammation.
Material And Methods: Rats were divided into 4 groups (6/group), namely, control (C), sham, SE, and SE+M.
