In addition, the vulnerable CA1 region to ischemia exhibits an increase in the levels of phosphorylation of eIF4G1 at Ser1147, with higher proportion of this phosphorylation respect to the levels of eIF4E associated with eIF4G1 and colocalized with eIF4E, in an environment of decreased eIF4E/eIF4G1 complex (this report) and translation inhibition where neuronal death occurs several days after ischemia [11,12]. This evidence concerns the gene EIF4G1 and ischemia.
