Example Sentences:

(2) The effects of low doses of dihydropyridine (DHP) calcium channel antagonists nimodipine, nifedipine, (-)-R-202-791, and amlodipine, the DHP calcium channel agonist BAY K 8644 were investigated on clonic convulsions to pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) in mice.
(3) 1 Rats were convulsed once daily for 7 days by exposure to the inhalant convulsant agent, flurothyl (Indoklon, bis (2,2,2-trifluouroethyl)ether).
(4) Ruthenium red (RuR) inhibits Ca2+ uptake and transmitter release in synaptosomes, and produces flaccid paralysis when injected intraperitoneally (IP) and convulsions after intracranial administration.

(6) Facial twitch was followed by the generalized convulsion, further progressing to trembling of the limbs and then kicking of the hindlimb (full seizure) after 55 days of age.
(7) CZP reduced the incidence of convulsions only after the larger dose, but plain solvent (propylene glycol, ethanol, water) was equally effective.
(8) The relationship between the susceptibility to convulsions, the content of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and the activity of pyridoxal kinase (EC 2.7.1.35) and glutamate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.15) in brain, was studied in the developing mouse.
(9) The convulsive episodes had several maxima during the abstinence period.
(10) A nervous syndrome characterized by clonic convulsive episodes inducible by exercise, developed at day 11.
(11) Anesthetic drugs have been each time defined pro or anti-convulsant: however, data from the literature show that it is not possible to certainly define the role of general anesthetics in the genesis of post-operative seizures.
(12) The risk of epilepsy after febrile convulsions is much less than reported in many hospital studies, and if febrile convulsions cause brain damage that leads to later epilepsy this is a rare occurrence.
