Recently, we have shown that a single high dose of the adrenal steroid precursor hormone deoxycorticosterone (DOC) has potent anticonvulsant effects in 15-day-old rats. To better define the actions of DOC, the present study established dose–, time–, age–, and sex–response curves for the anticonvulsant actions of DOC. Methods. Dose– and time–response studies were done using two different seizure models:...
Infantile spasms are generalized convulsive seizures seen in the first year of life. They respond poorly to conventional anticonvulsants, but are often controlled by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) therapy. Other childhood seizures are also responsive to ACTH.
