Abstract:From our previous observation that the anesthetic effects of phenobarbital potentiate in rats with a decreased cerebral protein expression of the potassium chloride cotransporter KCC2 (SLC12A5), an in vivo study was conducted to clarify whether the pharmacological effect of phenobarbital alters by stimulating the cerebral tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB) that is known to down-regulate the KCC2 protein expression. The stimulation was performed in rats with repetitious intraperitoneal administration of a Trk… Show more
