Figure 2

Effects of pilocarpine administration on glucose levels in Proechimys, an animal model of innate resistance to epilepsy. Experiments were performed in ovariectomised and non-ovariectomised animals. At 30 and 90 min after SE induction, blood serum was evaluated and changes in glucose, progesterone, and triglyceride levels were determined. (a) Serum glucose levels are presented in mg/dL. (b) Serum progesterone levels are presented in ng/mL. (c) Serum triglyceride levels are presented in mg/dL. (d) Group distribution of P. guyannensis in the present study. NOVX: Non-ovariectomised animals; OVX: Ovariectomised animals; CTR: Control; PILO 30: Data obtained 30 min after SE induction; PILO 90: Data obtained 90 min after SE induction. Data are presented as mean ± SD. Levels marked with asterisk (*) indicate significant differences: **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
