[Effect of testenate in the treatment of epilepsy in men].

The paper is concerned with the mechanisms of the effect of hormones on convulsive preparedness of the brain. A study was made of the effect of the androgenous hormonal drug testenat on the clinical course of epilepsy. Testenat was found to be an effective drug decreasing the rate of epileptic seizures, transforming generalized convulsive attacks to partial, reducing the gravity and duration of the ++post-paroxysmal period. The mechanisms by which testenat affects the bioelectric activity of the brain at the cellular level are under discussion.
