octanoic acid and Seizures

octanoic acid has been researched along with Seizures in 5 studies

octanoic acid: RN given refers to parent cpd; structure in Merck Index, 9th ed, #1764
octanoic acid : A straight-chain saturated fatty acid that is heptane in which one of the hydrogens of a terminal methyl group has been replaced by a carboxy group. Octanoic acid is also known as caprylic 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
"To assess neuronal mechanisms of potential importance in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy, visual evoked potentials were recorded in rabbits with acute hyperammonemic encephalopathy, postictal coma, and toxin-induced coma resulting from the administration of a combination of subcoma doses of three neurotoxins: ammonia, dimethyldisulfide, and octanoic acid."3.67Visual evoked potentials in a rabbit model of hepatic encephalopathy. II. Comparison of hyperammonemic encephalopathy, postictal coma, and coma induced by synergistic neurotoxins. ( Ferenci, P; Jones, EA; Pappas, SC; Schafer, DF, 1984)
"Finally, using multiple in vivo seizure models, we identify potent lead candidates for the treatment of epilepsy."1.42Seizure control by derivatives of medium chain fatty acids associated with the ketogenic diet show novel branching-point structure for enhanced potency. ( Cano-Jaimez, M; Chang, P; Close, AJ; McEvoy, JP; Spencer, J; Walker, MC; Williams, RS; Williams, S; Zuckermann, AM, 2015)
"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)
