  • Title: Contribution of pregnan steroid Althesin to the pathophysiology of epilepsy.
    Author: Nádvorník P, Kolarík J, Drlicková V.
    Journal: Acta Univ Palacki Olomuc Fac Med; 1990; 128():17-21. PubMed ID: 2149796.
    Abstract:
    The original study with Althesin in the development of epilepsy was carried out in nine patients. EEG and SEEG records show that sensitivity to Althesin, which is a mixture of pregnandiol and pregnan acetate, precursors of sexual hormones, raises in the direction to the oldest brain formations. A physiological substance in provoking epilepsy was discovered.
