Abstract
Groups of rats were exposed to varying numbers of audiogenic seizures between 1 and an average of 29. Ratios of adrenal to body weight were significantly increased in groups having median numbers of seizures between 15 and 29[long dash]the increase in the latter case being 34% over corresponding control animals. Data also suggest that animals susceptible to seizures have slightly larger adrenals that non-susceptibles.Keywords
