| Description | In the CNS, Kainic acid is an effective agonist at excitatory amino acid receptor subtypes. |
| In vivo | HO-I levels are obviously enhanced one, three, and seven days after i.c.v, injection of Kainic acid. The HO-I protein level reaches a maximum and then decreases, but is still significantly enhanced versus the vehicle-injected group, one day after i.c.v, injection of Kainic acid. HO-I-immunoreactivity is strongly induced not only in the CA3 but also widely in the whole hippocampus, after i.c.v. injection of Kainic acid. |
