Plasma glibenclamide concentrations.
<p>(<b>A</b>) Glibenclamide concentration in plasma from individual female (white bars) and male (grey bars) mice implanted with a 21-day slow release 2.5mg glibenclamide pellet or a vehicle pellet. Data are meanĀ±SEM of triplicate measurements. (<b>B</b>) MeanĀ±SEM determined glibenclamide concentration in plasma from mice treated with a vehicle (n = 9 animals) or a 21-day slow release 2.5mg glibenclamide (n = 11 animals) pellet.

Effect of subcutaneous glibenclamide therapy on blood glucose and isoflurane anaesthesia.
<p>(<b>A</b>) Free-fed blood glucose concentration of nV59M mice (black bars; n = 24) and control littermates (white bars; WT, n = 7; Nes-Cre<sup>+</sup>, n = 5; ROSA-V59M<sup>+/-</sup>, n = 10) before and after implanting with a vehicle or 2.5mg glibenclamide slow-release subcutaneous pellet. The mean blood glucose of each mouse was averaged over a period of 5 days before and up to 7 days after pellet implantation. (<b>B,C</b>) Time taken for loss of righting (<b>B</b>) and withdrawal (<b>C</b>) reflexes in response to 2% isoflurane anaesthesia before (white bars) and one week after implanting nV59M mice (n = 24) and control littermates (WT, n = 7; Nes-Cre<sup>+</sup>, n = 5; ROSA-V59M<sup>+/-</sup>, n = 10) with either a vehicle (grey bars) or 2.5mg glibenclamide (black bars) subcutaneous pellet. Half of the mice from each group were implanted with a vehicle pellet and the other half with glibenclamide. All data are meanĀ±SEM. * P<0.05; n.s. not statistically significant.
