摘要: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the potassium channel, TREK-1, neuroprotective after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Since there are no selective blockers, we used TREK-1 knockout (KO) mice for our study. Wild-type (WT) and KO were anesthetized subjected controlled-cortical impact (deformation by 1.5 mm a 3-mm diameter rod traveling at 3 m/s). Laser Doppler perfusion (LDP) decreased ∼80% in injured cortex remained that level both WT (n=10 11, respectively). 50% 60% cortical areas directly adjacent site injury. There statistical differences LDP between genotype. contusion volume, determined 15 days TBI using hematoxylin eosin-stained coronal sections, 4.1±0.8 (n=10) 5.1±0.5 (n=11) mm(3) KO, respectively (not significant, P=0.34).
