Phosphorylation of rpS6 at Ser235/236 increases with kainic acid-induced status epilepticus and depends on mTOR activity: a quantitative Western blot analysis.

<p>Quantitative Western blot analysis of phosphorylated rpS6 (P-S6) levels in the hippocampus and cortices in control (Ctr) animals (<i>n</i> = 5), animals that received kainic acid (KA) treatment and were evaluated at 2 h (<i>n</i> = 5), animals that received rapamycin (RA) treatment for 4 weeks (<i>n</i> = 6), and animals that received both KA and rapamycin treatment (<i>n</i> = 7). The graphs represent relative P-S6 levels normalized to tubulin. Error bars represent the standard deviation. *<i>p</i><0.05, **<i>p</i><0.01; Mann-Whitney U test.
