Abstract excerpt
In order to investigate the molecular mechanism underlying high seizure susceptibility of GLAST knockout mice, we carried out Western blotting for the expression of GLT-1, EAAC-1, and several kinds of glutamate receptors in the hippocampus and the cortex. Although no significant difference was observed between GLAST (+/+) and (-/-) mice in terms of expression of GLT-1 and EAAC-1 in the hippocampus, these proteins...
