Handling
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

Tiagabine restored LTD via the activation of GABAB receptors in LPS animals.
Tiagabine (20 µM) and/or CGP55845 (1 µM) were applied in the perfusate during both the recording of baseline activity and LFS (1 Hz stimulation, 15 min) delivery. (Panel A) Time-course and recapitulative graph depicting LTD induction in control (SAL) animals. LFS induced an LTD of fEPSP amplitude in control animals (SAL; filled circles; N = 8), which was significantly blocked by the GABAB receptor antagonist CGP55845 (SAL+CGP; open circles; N = 5; * p<0.05 vs SAL group). Tiagabine had no significant effect on LTD level (SAL+T; filled triangles; N = 8).
