Effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on GFAP and OX-42 expression in hippocampus and dentate gyrus in rats / 临床神经病学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and OX-42 in hippocampus and dentate gyrus in rats.Methods The rats were treated with 1 Hz, 100 mT TMS 10 min once a day for 14 days, and then the expression of GFAP and OX-42 in hippocampus and dentate gyrus were investigated by ABC technique of immunohistochemistry.Results Compared with the control group, there were no significant difference in the expression of GFAP and OX-42 between the two groups.Conclusion rTMS using our parameters does not cause brain injury in rats.
