TAILIEUCHUNG - UPDATE ON MECHANISMS OF HORMONE ACTION – FOCUS ON METABOLISM, GROWTH AND REPRODUCTIONS

Osteoporosis and fractures may increase due to hypoestrogenism in menopause and cytochrome P450 inducing AEDs. Recent studies suggest lower bone mineral density (BMD) in adults and children with epilepsy, irrespective of AED treatment. Both idiopathic epilepsy and symptomatic epilepsy are associated with reduced BMD, with the greatest reduction in symptomatic generalized epilepsy (Sheth & Hermann, 2008). However, the pathophysiological underlying mechanisms are far from understood and likely multifactorial. Potential risk or predisposing factors include physical impairment, genetic factors, AED treatment with enzyme-inducing drugs, AED polytherapy, impact of seizures on the hypothalamus-hypophysis-adrenal (HPA) axis, and vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency. As growth and sexual maturation in adolescence are regulated by a complex. | UPDATE ON MECHANISMS OF HORMONE ACTION - FOCUS ON METABOLISM GROWTH AnD REPRODUCTIONS Edited by Gianluca Aimaretti Co-Editors Paolo Marzullo and Flavia Prodam Update on Mechanisms of Hormone Action - Focus on Metabolism Growth and Reproductions Edited by Gianluca Aimaretti with Paolo Marzullo and Flavia Prodam Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2011 InTech All chapters are Open Access distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution license which permits to copy distribute transmit and adapt the work in any medium so long as the original work is properly cited.
