1 In this study, we investigated whether IL-1beta affects the GABA-evoked currents (I(GABA)) in TLE tissue from humans. gamma-Aminobutyric Acid interleukin 1 beta Homo sapiens
2 In this study, we investigated whether IL-1beta affects the GABA-evoked currents (I(GABA)) in TLE tissue from humans. gamma-Aminobutyric Acid interleukin 1 beta Homo sapiens
3 We report the novel finding that pathophysiological concentrations of IL-1beta decreased the I(GABA) amplitude by up to 30% in specimens from patients with TLE with or without HS, but not in control tissues. gamma-Aminobutyric Acid interleukin 1 beta Homo sapiens
4 Our findings suggest a novel mechanism possibly underlying the ictogenic action of IL-1beta, thus suggesting that this cytokine contributes to seizure generation in human TLE by reducing GABA-mediated neurotransmission. gamma-Aminobutyric Acid interleukin 1 beta Homo sapiens
