Figure 2. Prenatal exposure to betamethasone, but not hydrocortisone, decreases susceptibility to flurothyl-induced clonic seizures.

Figure 2

(A) Prenatal exposure to hydrocortisone had no effects on susceptibility to either clonic or tonic-clonic flurothyl-induced seizures compared to controls. (B) Prenatal exposure to betamethasone significantly increased amount of flurothyl required to induce clonic seizures compared to controls (increased flurothyl seizure threshold = anticonvulsant effect). There was no effect on the tonic-clonic seizure threshold.

*p<0.05 compared to controls.
