| Description | In the CNS, Kainic acid is an effective agonist at excitatory amino acid receptor subtypes. |
| In vivo | Kainic acid 通过i.c.v注射后1天、3天及7天，明显增强了HO-I水平。HO-I蛋白水平达到峰值后有所下降，但与对照组（vehicle-injected group）相比，i.c.v注射Kainic acid 1天后的HO-I水平仍显著提高。经Kainic acid i.c.v注射后，HO-I免疫反应不仅在CA3区域强烈诱导，而且在整个海马区也广泛诱导。 |
