Abstract Title:
Neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects of isoliquiritigenin in kainic acid-induced epileptic rats via the TLR4/MYD88 signaling pathway.
Abstract:
Epileptogenesis is a complex pathological process that occurs after an initial brain injury and involves a series of molecular events. Isoliquiritigenin (ISL), a flavonoid in licorice, is reported to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in various experimental models, but its specific roles and molecular mechanisms in the epileptogenic process following kainic acid (KA) treatment remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of ISL pretreatment in KA-induced epileptic rats and the underlying mechanisms. Our findings show that ISL pretreatment significantly attenuated the KA-induced expression of ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (IBα1)-labeled microglia (F = 97.29, p
