The Level of Neuregulin-1 after Traumatic Brain Injury and Formation of Post-Traumatic Epilepsy

We evaluated the serum level of neuregulin-1 in humans with traumatic brain injury. The highest levels of neuregulin-1 were revealed in patients with developing post-traumatic epilepsy and the lowest concentrations of this peptide were found in healthy controls. The patients with traumatic brain injury not aggravated by the development of post-traumatic epilepsy had intermediate levels of neuregulin-1.
