Abstract:

Carboxylesterase knockout ES1 mice are more susceptible than wild-type C57BL6 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.
