Abstract excerpt
Mature DBA/2J (D2) and C57BL/6J (B6) mice aged 9-10 weeks were studied to determine susceptibility to behavioral seizures induced by kainic acid (KA) and the possible influence exerted by differences in metabolism and blood-brain barrier (BBB) transport. Mice were observed for 4 h after subcutaneous (s.c.) KA injection. Behavioral seizure parameters included latency to first seizure (clonus), latency to...
