Corticosteroids enhance convulsion susceptibility via central mineralocorticoid receptors.

Abstract excerpt

Recently, interest in the roles of central nervous system mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) and glucocorticoid receptors (GR) has increased. In vitro results have implicated MR in the enhancing effects of corticosteroids and GR in the suppressing effects of corticosteroids on hippocampal excitability. Although indirect evidence exists suggesting that opposing actions of central MR and GR occur in vivo, direct...
