KCC2 activation reduces neuronal cell death 48 h after BDZ-RSE
(A) Mice that survived for 48 h following KA-induced seizures were sacrificed, and brain sections were subjected to TUNEL/DAPI staining followed by confocal microscopy. The righthand panels (scale bar: 50 μm) are enlargements of the boxed areas in the lefthand panels (scale bar: 1 mm).
(B) The number of TUNEL+ neurons was quantified in hippocampal slices from both treatment groups (n = 18 and 22 slices for DZ and DZ/350, respectively).
(C) The number TUNEL+ neurons was quantified in mice from both treatment groups (n = 4 and 5 mice for DZ and DZ/350, respectively).
In all panels, p values were determined using t tests, ∗p < 0.05.
