Soman-Induced Status Epilepticus, Epileptogenesis, and Neuropathology in Carboxylesterase Knockout Mice Treated with Midazolam
Abstract
Carboxylesterase knockout (ES1/) mice are more susceptible than wild-type C57BL/6 mice to the lethal effects of soman. Spontaneous recurrent seizures develop in ES1/ mice following soman-induced status epilepticus when midazolam treatment is delayed. Severe neuronal loss and neuroinflammation are present in ES1/ mice 2 weeks following soman-induced status epilepticus. ES1/ mice show acute and subchronic electroencephalography (EEG) power spectra changes after soman-induced status epilepticus and midazolam treatment is delayed.
