Abstract

Epilepsy is a neurological disease characterized by abnormal electrical activity and recurrent seizures in the central nervous system (CNS). Changes in hypoxia and iron metabolism can stimulate seizures through the CNS and cardiac system. Cardiovascular system disorders such as arrhythmias also accompany this process. It was aimed to examine the genes of TFRC-1 and TIM-2, which contribute to ion homeostasis by providing hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) -1 and intracellular iron flow, through the kindled model of pentylenetetrazol (PTZ). HIF-1α, TFRC-1 and TIM-2 gene expressions were investigated in both brain and heart tissue by RT-PCR method. As a result of the data, TIM-2 expression significantly decreased in the brain (p
