The anticonvulsants were given to mice 30 minutes before the appropriate dose of MSO. a: P < 0.01 MSO-Fast versus MSO-Slow. b: NS. c: The anticonvulsant effect of MK-801 is obvious, but not statistically analyzed as the latency value in its presence has no SEM. Indeed, when the latency is above 10 hours, mice were given a score of 600. d: P < 0.001 VPA versus its absence in MSO-Fast only. ND: not determined. Data adapted from Cloix et al. [113].
