| Research Abstract |
We intended to test the hypothesis that midazolam may exert excitatory actions on the developing hippocampus and may reduce sedative effects in neonatal rats. We found that midazolam increased intracellular Ca concentration and p CREB expression in the hippocampal CA3 area from neonatal rats but not from young rats. These excitatory effects of midazolam were inhibited by bumetanide, an inhibitor for NKCC1. Midazolam exhibited less sedative actions in neonatal rats compared with in young rats. Bumetanide enhanced sedative effects of midazolam in neonatal but not young rats. These results indicate that GABAA receptor-mediated excitation is dependent on NKCC1 and may underlie the attenuated sedative effects of midazolam in neonatal rats.
