Özet

We have investigated the activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases ERK1 and ERK2 in fetal rat brain following induction of ischemia. This treatment rapidly increases the phosphorylation of MAP kinase levels after induction appears to reach a maximum at 2 hrs recirculation time. The ischemic effect on fetal brain might lead to mitogen-activated protein kinase activation and subsequent protein phosphorylation.
