Basic parameters of hypoglycemic seizures in fasted and nonfasted rats

Parameter	Groups with progressively decreasing glucose		p
	Fasted rats (n = 25)	Nonfasted rats (n = 22)
Incidence of any seizure symptom	25 of 25 (100%)	10 of 22 (45.5%)	<0.0001
Peripheral glucose at the first seizure onset	20.0 ± 0.5 mg/100 ml (n = 25)	18.3 ± 1.4 mg/100 ml (n = 10)	NS
Latency to the onset of the first seizure	100.1 ± 3.8 min (n = 25)	172.4 ± 10.3 min (n = 10)	< 0.0001
Latency to the onset of the first seizure from the beginning of significant hypoglycemia (defined as 40 mg/100 ml)	78.0 ± 3.8 min (n = 25)	106.0 ± 10.3 min (n = 10)	<0.01
