Figure 2Activation of FKHR/FKHRL-1 following seizures. (A) Representative Western blot (
n = 2 per lane) showing that levels of phosphorylated (p) FKHRL-1 and FKHR are lower in hippocampal samples obtained 40 minutes after seizure induction (seiz) than in controls. The graph below shows quantitative change (fold vs. control) for pFKHR. *
P < 0.05 vs. control. Data are from six rats per group. (B) Representative Western blots (
n = 2 per lane) showing that hippocampal expression levels of other BH3-only proteins (Bad and Bid) and forkhead targets (p27
Kip1, FasL, and manganese superoxide dismutase [MnSOD]) are not increased by seizures. Immunoblots are representative of two or three independent experiments.
