Abstract

Introduction: The overproduction of the efflux transporters in the blood-brain barrier is considered to play a role in the development of drug resistance in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) patients. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship of clinical features of patients with MTLE accompanied by hippocampal sclerosis (HS) and the p-glycoprotein (p-gp) expression and neuronal loss in the hippocampus.
