Dexamethasone and high potassium levels modulate S100B secretion in the acute hippocampal slices. S100B secretion from the hippocampus was measured by ELISA. Dexamethasone and high potassium levels decreased S100B secretion in sham (saline) animals at 1, 14, and 56 days (a, c, e). Dexamethasone reduced S100B secretion at 1 and 56 days after pilocarpine injection. SE animals were not affected by high potassium at 1, 14, and 56 days (b, d, f). Data are expressed as percentages compared to the basal condition and values represent mean ± standard error, of six to eight animals per group. Data were analyzed by ANOVA, followed by the Dunnet test. Bars without a common letter differ significantly, assuming p < 0.05
