Abstract excerpt
Susceptibility to bicuculline-induced seizure onset and tonus was increased in LS and SS mice after adrenalectomy (ADX). Replacement with 10% corticosterone (CCS) in ADX animals resulted in a return to seizure latencies equal to those of sham-operated (SHAM) mice. In SS mice, dexamethasone (DEX) and cholesterol-control replacement was as effective as 10% CCS in returning seizure thresholds to SHAM values. In LS...
