Objective:To explore the effect of NLRP3 on the hippocampal dentate gyrus in the pilocarpine-induced rat epilepsy model.Methods:Twelve rats were randomly selected from 64 adult SD rats as controls,and the others were induced by lithium-pilocarpine to create the epilepsy model.After model establishment,the rats were randomly divided into the 1 d,7 d,14 d,and 28 d groups(n=12 per group).The serum levels of IL-1βand TNF were detected with ELISA.The expression of NLRP3 and Caspase-1 in the hippocampal dentate gyrus was measured with immunohistoche...
