Over-expression of Pglycoprotein in malformations of cortical development
1 Nov 1999
Abstract excerpt
Drug resistance in epilepsy due to malformations of cortical development (MCD) is unexplained. P-glycoprotein is a mediator of drug resistance, and we propose that MCD lesions over-express P-glycoprotein. Because P-glycoprotein expression may be induced by some antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), we studied brain samples from MCD cases before the onset of seizures or treatment with AEDs. Sixteen MCD cases and 16...
