pentobarbital and Ataxia

pentobarbital has been researched along with Ataxia in 24 studies

Pentobarbital: A short-acting barbiturate that is effective as a sedative and hypnotic (but not as an anti-anxiety) agent and is usually given orally. It is prescribed more frequently for sleep induction than for sedation but, like similar agents, may lose its effectiveness by the second week of continued administration. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p236)
pentobarbital : A member of the class of barbiturates, the structure of which is that of barbituric acid substituted at C-5 by ethyl and sec-pentyl groups.

Ataxia: Impairment of the ability to perform smoothly coordinated voluntary movements. This condition may affect the limbs, trunk, eyes, pharynx, larynx, and other structures. Ataxia may result from impaired sensory or motor function. Sensory ataxia may result from posterior column injury or PERIPHERAL NERVE DISEASES. Motor ataxia may be associated with CEREBELLAR DISEASES; CEREBRAL CORTEX diseases; THALAMIC DISEASES; BASAL GANGLIA DISEASES; injury to the RED NUCLEUS; and other conditions.

"Four groups of rats received chlordiazepoxide (CDP): a) intermittently, experiencing hypothermia and rotarod performance (RR) deficit after test doses (contingency); b) chronically, experiencing hypothermia and RR deficit after test doses; c) intermittently, RR preceding test doses and with protection against hypothermia afforded by exposure to heat lamps (nonexperienced, noncontingency); and d) chronically, RR preceding test doses and with protection against hypothermia."7.68Cellular and learned tolerances to chlordiazepoxide hypothermia and ataxia. ( MacKenzie-Taylor, DR; Rech, RH, 1993)
"Pentobarbital was administered to 4 groups of rats: 1) intermittently before testing on the rotarod (RR) (experienced, EXP), 2) chronically (CHR) before testing on the RR (EXP), 3) intermittently (INT) after being tested on the RR (NONEXP), and 4) chronically (CHR) after being tested on the RR (NONEXP)."5.28Cellular and learned tolerance to pentobarbital ataxia.
