research Finasteride, a 5alpha-reductase inhibitor, blocks the anticonvulsant activity of progesterone in mice.
Finasteride, a drug, can block the seizure-preventing effects of a hormone called progesterone in mice.
research Attenuating 5α-pregnane-3α-ol-20-one formation in the hippocampus of female rats increases pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures
Reducing 3α,5α-THP in the hippocampus increases seizures in female rats.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Topical valproic acid increases the hair count in male patients with androgenetic alopecia: a randomized, comparative, clinical feasibility study using phototrichogram analysis.
Applying valproic acid on the scalp increased hair growth in men with hair loss.
research Finasteride inhibits the progesterone-induced spike-wave discharges in a genetic model of absence epilepsy
Finasteride blocks progesterone's effect on absence seizures in rats.
research Novel anticonvulsive effects of progesterone in a mouse model of hippocampal electrical kindling
Progesterone can reduce seizures without relying on the GABAA receptor pathway.
research Safety and tolerability of antiepileptic drugs in women with epilepsy (literature review and own data)
Some epilepsy drugs can cause reproductive and cosmetic side effects in women and affect pregnancy, but most women still have healthy babies.
research Epoxy Fatty Acids and Inhibition of the Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Selectively Modulate GABA Mediated Neurotransmission to Delay Onset of Seizures
EETs can delay seizures by affecting GABA activity, offering potential new treatments for seizures.
research Reduced metabolites mediate neuroprotective effects of progesterone in the adult rat hippocampus. The synthetic progestin medroxyprogesterone acetate (Provera) is not neuroprotective
Progesterone protects brain cells, but Provera does not.
research SAFETY AND TOLERABILITY OF ANTIEPILEPTIC DRUGS AT WOMEN WITH EPILEPSY (DATA OF SVT. LUKA’S INSTITUTE OF CHILD NEUROLOGY AND EPILEPSY)
Antiepileptic drugs can cause side effects like menstrual problems and infertility in women with epilepsy, but most pregnancies result in healthy babies, with newer drugs being safer.
research Hyperammonemia with Valproic Acid: Colonic Ischemia Associated with “Triptan” Use Visual Side Effects with Pegylated Interferon: Alopecia Areata with Infliximab: Adverse Effects Seen with Medications Used for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Certain medications can cause serious side effects, so it's important to report them.
research P175 The effects of biotin supplementation on alopecia in rats which were administrated to valproic acid
Biotin supplements did not significantly reduce hair loss in rats on valproic acid.
research 11β-Hydroxylase inhibitors protect against seizures in mice by increasing endogenous neurosteroid synthesis
11β-Hydroxylase inhibitors help prevent seizures in mice by boosting natural neurosteroid production.
research Mechanism of progesterone neuroprotection of rat cerebellar Purkinje cells following oxygen–glucose deprivation
Progesterone protects rat brain cells by enhancing GABA A receptor activity.
research Anticonvulsant hypocalcaemia.
Long-term use of seizure medications can disrupt calcium metabolism, but this can be treated with vitamin D or UV light and does not affect seizure control.
research Anticonvulsant Activity of Progesterone and Neurosteroids in Progesterone Receptor Knockout Mice
Progesterone's seizure-reducing effects are mainly due to allopregnanolone, not progesterone receptors.
research Inhibitory influence of agmatine on catamenial-like seizure susceptibility in progesterone withdrawn female rats
Agmatine may help reduce seizures linked to hormone changes in female rats.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Finasteride inhibits the disease-modifying activity of progesterone in the hippocampus kindling model of epileptogenesis.
research Progesterone, neurosteroids, and the hormonal basis of catamenial epilepsy
Progesterone and related compounds may help control seizures linked to the menstrual cycle but have limitations that need addressing.
research The effects of biotin supplementation on serum and liver tissue biotinidase enzyme activity and alopecia in rats which were administrated to valproic acid
Biotin supplements increased biotin levels but did not significantly prevent hair loss in rats on valproic acid.
research Allopregnanolone-mediated protective effects of progesterone on tributyltin-induced neuronal injury in rat hippocampal slices
Progesterone protects neurons from damage by converting to allopregnanolone, which works through GABAA receptors.
research Role of neurosteroids in the anticonvulsant activity of midazolam
Midazolam's seizure prevention is partly due to increased neurosteroid production.
research Changes in expression of the δ subunit of the GABAAreceptor and in receptor function induced by progesterone exposure and withdrawal
Progesterone affects GABAA receptor function by altering δ subunit levels.
