Short communication FK506 facilitates chemical kindling induced by pentylenetetrazole in rats
2001
To clarify the possible role played by calcineurin in kindling development, we examined the effects of pretreatment with FK506, a selective calcineurin inhibitor, on pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) kindling in rats. FK506 facilitated the speed of kindling induced by repeated administration of 30-mg/kg PTZ, while FK506 did not ameliorate acute seizure manifestations after a single injection of PTZ. Our results suggested that calcineurin might exert an inhibitory effect on PTZ kindling. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
