## Abstract Because microglia have been suggested to produce neurotrophins, we tested this ability in vitro. Rat primary microglia were found to constitutively secrete a limited amount of brainβderived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), but nerve growth factor (NGF) and neurotrophinβ3 (NTβ3) were undetect

## Abstract Inward and, depending on activation state, outward potassium currents are the dominant ion channels in microglial cells in culture. During transition between resting and activated phases, there is also an upregulated expression of stretch/swellingβactivated chloride currents. Pharmacolo
Although the physiological role of neurotrophins in neuronal development and survival has been extensively investigated, their role in glial cell physiology remains to be elucidated. In the present study, we investigated the effects of neurotrophins on cultured microglia from newborn rat brain. All
Microglial activation and disruption of blood-brain barrier (BBB) are known to occur and contribute to neuronal damages in cerebral ischemic conditions and in some neurodegenerative diseases. To investigate whether a serum factor leaked out from circulation enhances microglial activation, we examine
