androsterone and Epilepsy

androsterone has been researched along with Epilepsy in 5 studies

Epilepsy: A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy). (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p313)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"This study evaluated the effect of androsterone (AND), a metabolite of testosterone, on the ability of selected classical and novel antiepileptic drugs to prevent seizures caused by maximal electroshock (MES), which may serve as an experimental model of human generalized tonic-clonic seizures in mice."7.91Effects of androsterone on the protective action of various antiepileptic drugs against maximal electroshock-induced seizures in mice. ( Aebisher, D; Bartusik-Aebisher, D; Buszewicz, G; Kołodziejczyk, P; Mróz, K; Mróz, T; Tutka, P; Łuszczki, JJ, 2019)

" Antiepileptic drugs, particularly classical ones, substantially modify bioavailability of androgens and can inhibit the activity of hypothalamo-pituitary-testicular axis, and--in a consequence--aggravate hypogonadism."2.46[Androgens and epilepsy]. ( Mróz, K; Mróz, T; Tutka, P, 2010)
