flumazenil and Hypokalemia

flumazenil has been researched along with Hypokalemia in 2 studies

Flumazenil: A potent benzodiazepine receptor antagonist. Since it reverses the sedative and other actions of benzodiazepines, it has been suggested as an antidote to benzodiazepine overdoses.
flumazenil : An organic heterotricyclic compound that is 5,6-dihydro-4H-imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepine which is substituted at positions 3, 5, 6, and 8 by ethoxycarbonyl, methyl, oxo, and fluoro groups, respectively. It is used as an antidote to benzodiazepine overdose.

Hypokalemia: Abnormally low potassium concentration in the blood. It may result from potassium loss by renal secretion or by the gastrointestinal route, as by vomiting or diarrhea. It may be manifested clinically by neuromuscular disorders ranging from weakness to paralysis, by electrocardiographic abnormalities (depression of the T wave and elevation of the U wave), by renal disease, and by gastrointestinal disorders.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Our results demonstrate that the potentiation of the inhibitory pathways mediated by opiates and GABA may be implicated in the decrease of sex hormones secretion produced by hypokalemia since treatment with higher doses of naloxone or flumazenil are required to restore progesterone or testosterone levels in potassium deficient mice."3.71Influence of different neural systems on the secretion of sex hormones in potassium deficient mice. ( Cremades, A; Peñafiel, R; Pinilla, L; Tejada, F, 2002)
