Table 1. The sEHI treatment reduced the proportion of mice experiencing tonic seizures but did not provide significant protection against clonic seizures.
compound (mg/kg)+pentylenetetrazole | mean§ time to clonic seizure in seconds (SEM) | protected from clonic/total | mean§ time to tonic seizure in seconds (SEM) | protected from tonic/total |
Vehicle (PEG400) | 257 (31) | 0/12 | 425 (45) | 0/12 |

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.
