decanoic acid and Epilepsy

decanoic acid has been researched along with Epilepsy in 5 studies

decanoate : A fatty acid anion 10:0 that is the conjugate base of decanoic acid.
decanoic acid : A C10, straight-chain saturated fatty acid.

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
" Decanoic acid, a component of medium-chain triclycerides, contributes to seizure control through direct α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor inhibition, whereas drugs targeting lactate dehydrogenase reduce seizures through inhibition of a metabolic pathway."4.95New insights into the mechanisms of the ketogenic diet. ( Boison, D, 2017)
"Perampanel (PER) is a non-competitive AMPAR antagonist, and pre-clinical studies have shown the AMPAR-mediated anticonvulsant effects of decanoic acid (DEC), a major medium-chain fatty acid provided in the medium-chain triglyceride ketogenic diet."1.56Abolishing spontaneous epileptiform activity in human brain tissue through AMPA receptor inhibition. ( Agrawal, S; Greenhill, SD; Lo, WB; Mundil, N; Philip, S; Seri, S; Walsh, R; Wilson, MA; Woodhall, GL; Wright, SK, 2020)
