Abstract excerpt
Mutant Car2n/Car2n mice deficient in carbonic anhydrase II (CA II; a major brain CA isozyme) suffer from systemic acidosis and are more resistant to experimental seizures than their normal littermates (+/+ or +/Car2n). The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) subtype of glutamate receptor has been shown to contribute to long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic transmission, hypoxic/ischemic neuronal injury and to be...
