Astrocytes play a predominant role in energy metabolism and in the catabolism of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate, neurotransmitters critically involved in epileptic processes. We show specific astrocytic alterations in the genetic absence epilepsy rats from Strasbourg (GAERS). Spontaneo
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is expressed upon cAMPβmediated induction of differentiation of glial progenitor cells into type II astrocytes. The protein is regulated by hormones, growth factors and cytokines but the signal transduction pathways involved in the regulation of GFAP expression
