Purpose : In order to determine the effect of neuronal nitric oxide synthase(nNOS) in seizure-related neuronal vulnerability of the hippocampus, the expression patterns of nNOS were examined in pentylenetetrazole(PTZ)-induced seizure groups and in PTZ seizure groups which were pretreated with nNOS inhibitors. Methods : Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 200-300 g were used in PTZ(40 mg/kg)-induced seizure experiments. A specific inhibitor, 50 mg/kg 7-nitroindazole(7-NI), and a...
