MAPT and status epilepticus: Western blotting of hippocampal samples revealed phosphorylation at the AT8 epitope was significantly increased at 4 h and 8 h post-status epilepticus when normalized to total tau levels [Ctrl vs. 4 h, 2.041 ± 0.384 (mean ± SEM), p = 0.03; Ctrl vs. 8 h, 2.413 ± 0.2357 (mean ± SEM), p = 0.005; ANOVA post hoc Fisher’s test] with this increase tapering off at 24 h post-status epilepticus (Figure 1D).
