The Table gives the average seizure frequency per day during the different treatment phases of the selection phase (pre-drug: 16 days, phenobarbital: 16 days) and second treatment phase (vehicle: 7 days; celecoxib: 6 days; phenobarbital: 16 days) for both groups of rats, designated responders and non-responders according to the first phenobarbital treatment phase. Please note that four animals died during different experimental phases, so that the number of animals included changed. To allow a better comparison, data of the animals that completed all experimental phases are given separately.
