New insights into epileptic spasm generation and treatment from the TTX animal model

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Currently, we have an incomplete understanding of the mechanisms underlying infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS). However, over the past decade, significant efforts have been made to develop IESS animal models to provide much‐needed mechanistic information for therapy development.

The effect of MDMA on anterior pituitary hormones: a secondary analysis of a randomized placebo-controlled trial

Endocrine Connections
Background: 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), a psychoactive substance, has been proposed as a novel provocation test for oxytocin deficiency. Limited evidence suggests that MDMA may also stimulate the anterior pituitary. Therefore, this analysis

High-dose corticotropin (ACTH) versus prednisone for infantile spasms: a prospective, randomized, blinded study.

Pediatrics, 1996
OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of corticotropin (ACTH) (150 U/m2/day) and prednosone (2 mg/kg/day) given for 2 weeks, in suppressing clinical spasms and hypsarrhythmic electroencephalogram (EEG) in infantile spasms (IS).

Prenatal betamethasone–postnatal N‐methyl‐D‐aspartic acid model of spasms: Update on mechanisms and treatments

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Infantile epilepsy spasms syndrome (IESS), formerly known as infantile spasms or West Syndrome, is a severe epilepsy syndrome affecting about 3 in 10,000 newborns in the United States. Characterized by clusters of epileptic spasms, interictal hypsarrhythmia, and developmental delays, IESS has diverse causes, including structural‐metabolic ...

The multiple hit model of infantile and epileptic spasms: The 2025 update

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Infantile and epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy manifesting with epileptic spasms and poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. There is an urgent need for the development of more effective and tolerated therapies.

Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.

Expanding the electroclinical spectrum of TANC2‐related disorders: Lennox–Gastaut syndrome and related developmental epileptic phenotypes

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) and epilepsy are often associated. Increasing evidence highlights a pivotal role for pathogenic variants in genes encoding synaptic scaffolding proteins. Within this group, TANC2 has recently been implicated in intellectual developmental disorder with autistic features and language delay, with or ...

The expression of the ACTH receptor

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2000
Adrenal glucocorticoid secretion is regulated by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) acting through a specific cell membrane receptor (ACTH-R). The ACTH-R is a member of the G protein superfamily-coupled receptors and belongs to the subfamily of ...
