Investigation of the Effects of Pinacidil and Glibenclamide Administration on HCN1, KCNT1, Kir 6.1, SUR1 Gene Expressions in Hippocampus and Cortex Regions in Epileptic Rats

The purpose of this study was to look into the effects of pinacidil and glibenclamide on HCN1, KCNT1, Kir 6.1, and SUR1 gene expression in epileptic rats hippocampus and cortex. Male Wistar-Albino rats were used in this study. The drugs pinacidil and glibenclamide were utilized. Control, Epilepsy, Epilepsy-O, and Epilepsy-B were the five groups formed. The epileptic focus was created by intracortical administration of penicillin at a dose of 500 IU/2 μl. Hippocampus and Cortex are removed from all animals and Kir 6.1, SUR1, HCN1, and KCNT1 gene expression levels were determined by qPCR. The SPSS 21 program was used for statistics. HCN1 gene expression level is equal in the hippocampus and cortex (p
