N2  - Acetaminophen (ACT) facilitates the inhibition of voltage-gated calcium and sodium currents, which may effect cortico-spinal excitability. Twelve subjects ingested acetaminophen or a placebo and underwent transcranial magnetic stimulation to assess the motor evoked potential (MEP), and cortical silent period (CSP). ACT significantly increased MEP response (P > 0.05) but had no effect on CSP (P > 0.05). This indicates that ACT increases MEP and should be controlled for in studies where these measures are of interest.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
