Table 1. The sEHI treatment reduced the proportion of mice experiencing tonic seizures but did not provide significant protection against clonic seizures.

Diazepam at a high dose was effective in protecting from both clonic and tonic seizures.

§Mean values with animals protected from clonic or tonic seizures excluded.
