Table 2.
Effect of sub-chronic treatment with different doses of citicoline on the incidence of tonic seizure and death in intraperitoneal PTZ-induced seizure model.
| Groups | Tonic seizure protection (%) | Mortality protection (%) | 
|---|---|---|
| Solvent | 45.5 | 54.5 | 
| Citicoline (125 mg/kg) | 50 | 62.5 | 
| Citicoline (250 mg/kg) | 57.1 | 57.1 | 
| Citicoline (500 mg/kg) | 57.1 | 57.1 | 
Percentage of protection against incidence of tonic seizures and death subsequent pentylenetetrazole was compared among groups using Fisher's exact test (P > 0.05 for both tonic seizure protection and mortality protection). Each group of mice consisted of eight to ten animals.
