1 Dexmedetomidine ameliorated KA-induced apoptosis, and this neuroprotective effect was accompanied by inhibited the KA-induced caspase-3 expression as well as MAPKs phosphorylation, and reversed Bcl-2 down-expression, coupled with increased Nrf2, BDNF and TrkB expression in KA-treated rats.

2 The results suggest that dexmedetomidine protected rat brains from KA-induced excitotoxic damage by reducing glutamate levels, suppressing caspase-3 activation and MAPKs phosphorylation, and enhancing Bcl-2, Nrf2, BDNF and TrkB expression in the hippocampus.
