... variables on seizure threshold, i.e. ketogenic ratio, body weight, age at diet onset and β-hydroxybutyrate in rats. Path analysis was used to statistically model and quantify the causal relationships among variables. Results indicate that seizure threshold was significantly elevated with increasing...

...Astrid Nehlig The postnatal evolution of local cerebral metabolic rates for glucose (LCM-Rglcs) and of regional rates of cerebral uptake of β-hydroxybutyrate (βHB) were studied in the suckling rat between postnatal days (P) 10 and 21. LCM-Rglcs were low and homogeneous at P10. They increased...
