Abstract excerpt
In the present study, the susceptibility of the mdx mouse, a dystrophin-deficient genetic model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), to various convulsant stimuli has been evaluated and compared to three related mice strains (C57BL/6J, C57BL/10 and DBA/2 mice). Animals were treated with chemical convulsants impairing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurotransmission [pentylenetetrazole, picrotoxin, bicuculline,...
