11 Beta-hydroxylase deficiency congenital adrenal hyperplasia: update of prenatal diagnosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Hormonal measurements in maternal urine and amniotic fluid (AF) during pregnancy and/or at delivery correctly predicted the postnatal diagnosis of 11 beta-hydroxylase deficiency congenital adrenal hyperplasia (11 beta-OH deficiency CAH) in 7 fetuses at risk. In the 4 affected ones, maternal urinary

Anticonvulsant activity of androsterone and etiocholanolone.

OBJECTIVE Men with epilepsy often have sexual or reproductive abnormalities that are attributed to alterations in androgen levels, including subnormal free testosterone. Levels of the major metabolites of testosterone-androsterone (5alpha-androstan-3alpha-ol-17-one; 5alpha,3alpha-A), a neurosteroid

Sex hormones, gonadotropins and prolactin in male epileptic subjects in remission: role of the epileptic syndrome and of antiepileptic drugs.

Only registered users can translate articles

Sex steroid peripheral pattern, pulsatile luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion, gonadotropin and prolactin responses to LH-releasing hormone (LHRH) and thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) were studied in 35 male epileptics treated with phenobarbital (PB), carbamazepine (CBZ), or phenytoin (PHT), and

Valproate-induced insulin resistance in prepubertal girls with epilepsy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Valproate is commonly used for treatment of a variety of seizure types in both children and adults. However, if the medication is started before the age of 20 years, it may affect reproductive endocrine functions. In order to investigate the possible role of valproate treatment in the development of

The impact of epilepsy surgery on sex hormones and the menstrual cycle in female patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

We investigated the impact of temporal lobe epilepsy surgery on sex hormones and menstrual cycles. Sixteen female patients with temporal lobe epilepsy were investigated prior to surgery and 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. The patients received carbamazepine (CBZ) as monotherapy (10 patients) or

Reproductive dysfunction in women with epilepsy: antiepileptic drug effects on sex-steroid hormones.

Only registered users can translate articles

Women with epilepsy are at risk for reproductive health dysfunction. Sex-steroid hormone abnormalities have been reported in women with epilepsy, but it has been difficult to determine whether these abnormalities are due to epilepsy-related hypothalamic-pituitary axis dysfunction, or to

Higher androgens and weight gain with valproate compared with lamotrigine for epilepsy.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Valproate is used widely for the treatment of epilepsy but has been associated with hyperandrogenism, hyperinsulinemia, and dyslipidemia. The mechanism for these associations is unknown, but they have been hypothesized to be secondary to valproate-associated weight gain. This study was

Altered sexual and reproductive functions in epileptic men taking carbamazepine.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Epileptic men may experience hormonal changes that may alter semen quality and sexual function. Alterations in male sexual and reproductive parameters may also be due to treatment with antiepileptic drugs to control seizures. OBJECTIVE To evaluate serum hormone concentrations, semen

Sodium valproate versus lamotrigine: a randomised comparison of efficacy, tolerability and effects on circulating androgenic hormones in newly diagnosed epilepsy.

Only registered users can translate articles

We have performed a randomised, prospective study to compare the efficacy and tolerability of sodium valproate (VPA) and lamotrigine (LTG) monotherapy, and their effects on circulating androgenic hormones, in newly diagnosed epilepsy. A total of 225 patients (116 male; median age 35 years, range

[Characteristics of women with epilepsy who developed polycystic ovary syndrome owing to the therapy with valproate sodium].

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess the characteristics of women with epilepsy who developed polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) owing to therapy with valproate sodium (VPA). METHODS Our study comprised 77 patients on therapy with VPA--20 patients with PCOS and 57 without PCOS (control

Hormone profiles in young adults with epilepsy treated with sodium valproate or lamotrigine monotherapy.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Treatment with sodium valproate (VPA) may be associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) in some women with epilepsy. By comparing hormone profiles in young adults taking VPA or lamotrigine (LTG) as monotherapy, this study aimed to explore whether a pharmacologic effect of VPA could

Serum androgens return to normal after temporal lobe epilepsy surgery in men.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Epileptic discharges from the temporal lobe may influence the release of hormones from the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. If epilepsy surgery influences the underlying epileptic disorder one might expect serum hormone concentrations to return to normal following surgery. METHODS Twenty-two

Improvement of intractable idiopathic epilepsy with chlormadinone acetate. A case report.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 10-year-old boy with idiopathic epilepsy refractory to treatment from age 4 and with clinical signs of hyperandrogenism was treated with chlormadinone acetate (24 mg/day) during two alternate periods of 3 months. The administration of chlormadinone was associated with a marked clinical and
