Seizures, hormones and sexuality
Sexual disorders (both hyposexuality and sexual dysfunction) are common in people with epilepsy, occurring in up to two-thirds of patients. However, characteristically, patients do not spontaneously report these problems. Nocturnal penile tumescence testing suggests that the erectile dysfunction has a neurophysiological component. The aetiology remains uncertain but is likely to be multifactori...
متن کاملHormones and sexuality during transition to menopause.
OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between reproductive hormonal dynamics and sexual dysfunction assessed in a cohort of women approaching menopause. METHODS Women in the Penn Ovarian Aging Study were assessed at yearly intervals for 3 years with early follicular hormone measurements (estradiol, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone [LH], sex hormone binding globulin, dehyroepi...
متن کاملRole of the hormones in human sexuality.
T HE mechanism of sexual behavior has long been an intriguing although frustrating subject of investigation. With the discovery of the role of the gonads as producers of hormones, and particularly after the isolation, purification, and synthesis of the steroid hormones, biologists believed that a simple explanation of sexual behavior was at last available. Many observers had noted that sexual b...
متن کاملSeizure Disorders Sex Hormones and Prognosis of Neonatal Seizures
The influence of testosterone on the development of the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNR), a brain region involved in the control of seizures, was investigated in male rats castrated at birth, in experiments at Albert Einstein College ofMedicine and Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, NY. Neonatal castration alters the maturation of the muscimol (GABA-A)-sensitive SNR effect on seizures. Mic...
متن کاملPlasticity in brain sexuality is revealed by the rapid actions of steroid hormones.
Divergent steroid hormone profiles can shape the development of male versus female neural phenotypes, but whether they also determine differences in the short-term, neurophysiological patterning of behavior is unknown. We now show that steroid hormone-specific modulation of a vocal pattern generator (VPG) diverges between reproductive morphs in a teleost fish. Only type I male midshipman acoust...
