homovanillic acid and Epilepsies, Myoclonic

homovanillic acid has been researched along with Epilepsies, Myoclonic in 6 studies

Homovanillic Acid: A 3-O-methyl ETHER of (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acetic acid.
homovanillate : A hydroxy monocarboxylic acid anion which is obtained by deprotonation of the carboxy group of homovanillic acid.
homovanillic acid : A monocarboxylic acid that is the 3-O-methyl ether of (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acetic acid. It is a catecholamine metabolite.

Epilepsies, Myoclonic: A clinically diverse group of epilepsy syndromes characterized either by myoclonic seizures or by myoclonus in association with other seizure types. Myoclonic epilepsy syndromes are divided into three subtypes based on etiology: familial, cryptogenic, and symptomatic.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The degenerative type of progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME) is a hereditary disease with grand mal seizures, stimulus sensitive myoclonus, characteristic EEG and mental deterioration in the late stage."1.26Decrease of GABA in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with progressive myoclonus epilepsy and its correlation with the decrease of 5HIAA and HVA. ( Airaksinen, EM; Leino, E, 1982)
"The neurochemical basis of myoclonus responding to 5HT precursors and clonazepam is discussed."1.26Clinical, biochemical, and physiological features distinguishing myoclonus responsive to 5-hydroxytryptophan, tryptophan with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, and clonazepam.
