DHA and EPA Prevent Seizure
and Depression-Like Behavior by Inhibiting Ferroptosis and Neuroinflammation via
Different Mode-of-actions in a Pentylenetetrazole-Induced Kindling Model in Mice
- Mol Nutr Food Res 2022 Sep 13 - "The administration of
EPA and DHA at a dose of 1% (w/w) significantly inhibited PTZ-induced seizures
and depressive-like behavior, whereas EPA outcompetes DHA" - See
omega-3 supplements at Amazon.com.

The effect of omega-3 fatty
acid supplementation on seizure frequency in individuals with epilepsy: a
systematic review and meta-analysis - Nutr Neurosci 2021 Jul 30;1-10 -
"In order, the duration of the intervention and dosage
of omega-3 fatty acid supplement of the included studies ranged from 12 to 42
weeks and 1000-2880 mg/day. Pooled results from the random-effects model
indicated that seizure frequency following supplementation of omega-3 fatty acid
decreased significantly (WMD: -6.15, 95% CI: -7.78, -4.53, P < 0.001).
Furthermore, the results of the subgroup analysis revealed that seizure
frequency was more alleviated in studies that used a daily dose of 1500 mg or
less of omega-3 fatty acids as well as studies that had an intervention duration
of more than 16 weeks. More importantly, our findings also showed that the
effect of omega-3 intervention was greater in adults than in children with
epilepsy" - See omega-3 supplements at Amazon.com and

Curcumin in epilepsy
disorders - Phytother Res. 2018 Jun 19 - "The molecule has an anti-seizure
potential in preclinical studies, including chemical and electrical models of
acute and chronic epilepsy. Curcumin also possesses an anti-epileptogenic
activity as it reduces spontaneous recurrent seizures severity in a kainate
model of temporal lobe epilepsy. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nature of
curcumin might be responsible for its observed anti-seizure effects;
nevertheless, the exact mechanism is not yet clear. The poor availability of
curcumin to the brain limits its use in clinics. The application of nanoliposome
and liposome technologies has been tested to enhance its brain availability and
penetrability. Unfortunately, there are no randomized, double-blinded controlled
clinical trials validating the use of curcumin in epilepsy. The present article
analyzes different preclinical evidence illustrating the effect of curcumin in
seizure models. The review encourages carrying out clinical trials in this
important area of research. In conclusion, curcumin might be beneficial in
patients with epilepsy disorders, if its bioavailability issues are resolved"

Distinct effects of
resveratrol on seizures and hyperexcitability induced by NMDA and
4-aminopyridine - Nutr Neurosci. 2018 Apr 12:1-11 -
"These findings suggest that resveratrol might be capable of protecting against
the seizure types related to neuronal excitability and progression mediated by
NMDA receptor activation, but not suitable for the seizures caused by
disturbance of the voltage-dependent potassium channels" - See
resveratrol products at Amazon.com.
-
Docosahexaenoic acid
prevents resistance to antiepileptic drugs in two animal models of
drug-resistant epilepsy - Nutr Neurosci. 2018 Jan 16:1-9 -
"lamotrigine
(LTG) ... phenytoin (PHT) ... DHA removes the 'inherent resistance' of 6-Hz
seizures to PHT and LTG, and prevents the development of pharmacodynamic
tolerance to LTG in LTG-resistant kindled rats. DHA might have potential to be
used as add-on therapy in patients with refractory epilepsy" - See
docosahexaenoic acid at Amazon.com.

Huperzine A provides seizure protection in genetic epilepsy models - Science
Daily, 11/10/16 - "In particular, huperzine A shows
potential for protecting against febrile seizures, which are a feature of both
Dravet syndrome, a severe form of childhood epilepsy, and a related condition,
GEFS+ (genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus ... The protection observed
in normal mice suggest huperzine A might also increase seizure resistance in
other forms of treatment-resistant epilepsy. While these results are
encouraging, further research will be required to determine suitability of using
huperzine A as a clinical treatment for epilepsy ... Huperzine A is thought to
work, in part, by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which breaks down
the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Thus, huperzine A can increase the levels of
acetylcholine in the brain" - See
Huperzine at Amazon.com.

Scientists identify amino acid that stops seizures in mice: Finding suggests
novel mechanism for treating epilepsy - Science Daily, 6/19/15 -
"researchers pre-treated mice with the amino acid
L-leucine and another one, called D-leucine, which has a nearly identical
structure to L-leucine and is essentially its biochemical mirror image ... When
researchers induced seizures with shock therapy, animals pre-treated with either
amino acid fared better, developing seizures at notably higher electric currents
than mice that received placebo, a sign of greater seizure resistance ...
L-leucine failed to abort ongoing seizures, while D-leucine effectively
interrupted convulsions" - See
leucine products at Amazon.com
and Core Nutritionals Hmb Dietary Supplement, 90 Gram
 .
I doubt if you'll find the "D" form. However, my mother had epilepsy so
I'm very familiar with it and it doesn't make sense that you could give someone
a supplement while they are having a seizure.

Low-Dose Fish Oil Shows
Reduced Seizures in Epilepsy - Medscape, 9/9/14 -
"the previous studies tested a dose of fish oil containing 1700 to 2000 mg of
omega-3 fatty acids per day ... But the lower dose in this study — 1000 mg of
omega-3 fatty acids per day — showed a reduction in seizure frequency of about
one third. "This is quite remarkable given that the patients included all had
intractable epilepsy," ... In the low-dose group, 2 patients (10%) actually
achieved seizure-free status" - See
fish oil supplements at Amazon.com.
-
Scientists discover new role for vitamin C in the eye and the brain -
Science Daily, 7/15/11 - "cells in the retina need to be
'bathed' in relatively high doses of vitamin C, inside and out, to function
properly ... Because the retina is part of the central nervous system, this
suggests there's likely an important role for vitamin C throughout our brains,
to a degree we had not realized before ... The findings could have implications
for other diseases, like glaucoma and epilepsy. Both conditions are caused by
the dysfunction of nerve cells in the retina and brain that become over excited
in part because GABA receptors may not be functioning properly" - See
vitamin C products at Amazon.com.

Intake of
marine n-3 fatty acids during pregnancy and risk for epilepsy in the offspring:
A population-based cohort study - Epilepsy Res. 2010 Aug 24 -
"Children born to mothers in the lowest (IRR=1.28,
95% CI: 0.98, 1.67) and highest (IRR=1.33, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.74) quintile of n-3
LCPUFA intake had an increased risk of epilepsy after adjustment for potential
confounders compared to children born to mothers with an average intake ...
Maternal deficiency of n-3 LCPUFA and a high intake of n-3 LCPUFA perhaps
related to a high consumption of contaminated fish may be associated with an
increased risk of epilepsy in early childhood" - Note: See my
Toxins in fish oil/fish page. Contamination with the higher end omega-3
supplements has not been a problem. - See

Taurine: Key To The Visual Toxicity Of An Anti-epileptic Drug For Children?
- Science Daily, 2/17/09 - "Vigabatrin (Sabril),
first intention molecule for the treatment of epilepsy in children, in many
cases produces secondary effects that lead to an irreversible loss of vision
... vigabatrin provokes a marked decrease in the blood level in an amino
acid, taurine, resulting in a degeneration of the retina cells induced by
light. The researchers therefore suggest that exposure to light should be
reduced and a taurine-rich diet introduced in order to curb immediately
these secondary effects in children undergoing treatment" - See
taurine at Amazon.com.
-
Vitamin D Deficiency Highly Prevalent Among Epilepsy Patients -
Medscape, 12/6/07 - "the study showed 44.5% of
epilepsy patients — 45.3% of men and 43.7% of women — were vitamin D
deficient, putting these patients at potential increased risk for a wide
variety of conditions, including osteoporosis, autoimmune disease, cancer,
cardiovascular disease, and infectious disease, among others" - See

rate, a 2-month trial period may be adequate to assess for efficacy"
