decanoic acid and Seizures

decanoic acid has been researched along with Seizures 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.

Seizures: Clinical or subclinical disturbances of cortical function due to a sudden, abnormal, excessive, and disorganized discharge of brain cells. Clinical manifestations include abnormal motor, sensory and psychic phenomena. Recurrent seizures are usually referred to as EPILEPSY or seizure disorder.

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)
"Decanoic acid acts as a non-competitive antagonist at therapeutically relevant concentrations, in a voltage- and subunit-dependent manner, and this is sufficient to explain its antiseizure effects."1.43Seizure control by decanoic acid through direct AMPA receptor inhibition. ( Augustin, K; Boddum, K; Chang, P; Chen, PE; Hardege, JD; Sun, M; Terschak, JA; Walker, MC; Williams, RS; Williams, S, 2016)
"PTZ) seizure tests in mice."1.42Acute anticonvulsant effects of capric acid in seizure tests in mice. ( Czuczwar, SJ; Gasior, M; Nieoczym, D; Socała, K; Wlaź, P; Żarnowska, I; Żarnowski, T, 2015)
