Increased Metallothionein I/II Expression in Patients with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

Increased Metallothionein I/II Expression in Patients with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

In the central nervous system, zinc is released along with glutamate during neurotransmission and, in excess, can promote neuronal death. Experimental studies have shown that metallothioneins I/II (MT-I/II), which chelate free zinc, can affect seizures and reduce neuronal death after status epilepti...
