Abstract:
Estrogens have previously been reported to be proconvulsants in adult animals. This study evaluated the effects of acute, high-dose estrogen administration on rate of kindling in immature rats. No significant differences in rate of kindling between the estrogen-treated rats and controls were noted. This study, using the kindling model, demonstrates that estradiol does not have a significant effect on the development of seizures in the immature animal.
