In contrast to our studies which showed no differences in KC/GRO levels between control conditions and status epilepticus/epilepsy in plasma, previous data have shown increased KC/GRO protein levels in the hippocampus of rats 12 h post-status epilepticus [62], in the brain and in plasma of rats with non-convulsive status epilepticus [63], and in the CSF of pediatric patients with febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome [64]. The gene discussed is CXCL1; the disease is status epilepticus.
