Pon1 protects against Hcy-thiolactone neurotoxicity in mice. L-Hcy-thiolactone was injected i.p. (3,700 nmol/g body weight) and the mice were monitored for 90 min
Genotype (n) | Incidence of seizures, % (n) |

Death latency period, min |
---|---|---|---|---|
Pon1−/− (36) | 52.8 (19)* | 8.3 (3) | 31.8±11.6‡ | 50±30 |
Wild type (44) | 29.5 (13) | 2.3 (1) | 41.2±10.8 | 61 |
Significantly different from wild type – Fisher exact test p = 0.042 versus wild type
T-test p = 0.019 versus wild type.
