Downregulation of Astrocytic Kir4.1 Potassium Channels Is Associated with Hippocampal Neuronal Hyperexcitability in Type 2 Diabetic Mice

Epilepsy, characterized by recurrent seizures, affects 1% of the general population. Interestingly, 25% of diabetics develop seizures with a yet unknown mechanism. Hyperglycemia downregulates inwardly rectifying potassium channel 4.1 (Kir4.1) in cultured astrocytes. Therefore, the present study aims...
