| Resumen |
Rhesus monkeys were administered sarin or dieldrin in either a single large dose (5µg/kg sarin or 4mg/kg dieldrin i.v.) or multiple smaller doses (a series of 10 intramuscular injections of 1µg/kg sarin or 1mg/kg dieldrin at intervals 1 week apart). Animals receiving the single, large doses showed symptoms of acute poisoning including prolonged electrical seizure activity. Animals receiving the multiple doses did not show these signs of acute toxicity. Electroencephalograms were recorded before exposure and at 24 hours and 1 year after exposure. EEG data were computer-processed to yield frequency spectra, and statistical analyses were performed over standard EEG frequency bands. For both drugs and both dose schedules, there was a significant increase in the relative amount of beta energy in the frontal-central and occipital-temporal cortical EEG which persisted for a year. |
