Previous researches have shown that levels of glutamate and its receptor expression are closely relat- ed to the occurrence of this phenomenon. Furthermore, recent study has demonstrated that the expression levels of excitatory amino acid transporters 2 （EAAT2） in different brain regions of 1 month PS offspring rats have changed. Methods The SD pregnant rats were used restraint stress to imitate PS from gestation 14 -~ 19 days. Offspring rats were weaned 21 days after birth. The expression of EAAT2 of hippocampus was observed by Western blot. Results The expression of EAAT2 of 1 month PS offspring rats was significantly decreased in comparison to control group. However, the expression of EAAT2 of 2 month PS offspring rats was significantly increased in comparison to 1 month PS offspring rats. Conclusion These phenomena have illustrated that the expression of EAAT2 of PS off- spring rats could show time dependence or reversibility. The expression of EAAT2 may play an important role in the development of mental illness of offspring rats influenced by PS.展开更多
