Hippocampal IL-1β protein levels were increased in rats that developed epilepsy after a 64 min FS compared with those that did not. A, A representative Western blot showed enhanced levels of IL-1β protein in rats with epilepsy (n = 5) compared with those with interictal activity only (n = 6). B, Quantitative Western blot analyses of IL-1β from CA1 hippocampal area: OD of IL-1β-immunoreactive bands was normalized to that of actin for each lane, and the data were expressed as percentage of control. The analyses demonstrated a significant increase of IL-1β protein levels in rats that developed epilepsy. *p < 0.05. Error bars indicate SEM.
