Abstract
Psychotropic drugs, including antidepressants, antipsychotics, and anticonvulsants, all have negative effects on sexual function and semen quality. These adverse events vary among men and are less pronounced for some medications, allowing their effects to be managed to some extent. Use of specific serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) is prevalent in men of reproductive age; and application to treat premature ejaculation increases the number of young men on SSRI therapy. Oxidative damage to sperm can result from prolonged residence in the male reproductive tract. The increase in ejaculatory latency seen with SSRIs likely underlies some of their negative effects on semen quality, including higher sperm DNA fragmentation, seen in all SSRIs evaluated thus far. These medications increase prolactin (PRL) levels in some men, and this is often credited with inhibitory effects on male reproduction; however, testosterone levels are generally normal, reducing the likelihood of direct HPG axis inhibition by PRL. The tricyclic antidepressants have also been shown to increase PRL levels in some studies but not in others. The exception is the tricyclic antidepressant clomipramine, which profoundly increases PRL levels and may depress semen quality. Other antidepressants modulating synaptic levels of serotonin, norepinephrine, and/or dopamine may have toxicity similar to SSRIs, but most have not been evaluated. In limited studies, norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitors (NDRIs) and serotonin agonist/reuptake inhibitors (SARIs) have had minimal effects on PRL levels and on sexual side effects. Antipsychotic medications increase PRL, decrease testosterone, and increase sexual side effects, including ejaculatory dysfunction. The greatest evidence is for chlorpromazine, haloperidol, reserpine, risperidone, and thioridazine, with less effects seen with aripiprazole and clozapine. Remarkably few studies have looked at antipsychotic effects on semen quality, and this is an important knowledge gap in reproductive pharmacology. Lithium increases PRL and LH levels and decreases testosterone although this is informed by few studies. The anticonvulsants, many used for other indications, generally decrease free or bioavailable testosterone with variable effects on the other reproductive hormones. Valproate, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, and levetiracetam decrease semen quality; other anticonvulsants have not been investigated for this adverse reaction. Studies are required evaluating endpoints of pregnancy and offspring health for psychotropic medications.

Abstract
Phenytoin, an anticonvulsant agent used for the treatment of epilepsy has been reported to exhibit toxic side effects on the liver and testes. The present study investigated the protective effects of kolaviron (KV, a bioflavonoid from Garcinia kola seeds) against hepatic and testicular damage in rats exposed to phenytoin. The study consisted of four groups of six rats per group. Group I rats received 2 mL/kg of corn alone while group II received 75 mg/kg of phenytoin (PHT) alone. Groups III and IV were co-treated with kolaviron (200 mg/kg KV) and vitamin E (500 mg/kg VTE), respectively, for 14 days. The antioxidant status, hepatic and reproductive functional parameters were subsequently determined. PHT treatment significantly (p < 0.05) increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities, elevated lipid peroxidation (LPO) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) levels along with significant reduction in the hepatic and testicular levels of glutathione (GSH). Moreover, PHT exposure elicited significant increases in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels. The significant reduction in seminal epithelium thickness and the diameter of seminiferous tubules was accompanied with marked decrease in sperm motility, sperm count, and viability in PHT-treated rats. However, antioxidant status and the functional indices of liver and testes were restored to near control levels in rats co-treated with KV and VTE. In conclusion, KV and VTE protect the liver and testes against functional impairment due to PHT treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epilepsy in women may be associated with reproductive disorders and alterations in serum steroid levels. Some steroids can be induced by epilepsy and/or treatment with antiepileptic drugs; however, there are still limited data available concerning this effect on the levels of other neuroactive steroid metabolites such as 3a-hydroxy-5a/b-reduced androstanes. AIM To evaluate steroid alterations in women with epilepsy (WWE) on lamotrigine monotherapy. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Eleven WWE and 11 age-matched healthy women underwent blood sampling in both phases of their menstrual cycles (MCs). The steroid metabolome, which included 30 unconjugated steroids, 17 steroid polar conjugates, gonadotropins, and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), was measured using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and radioimmunoassay (RIA). RESULTS WWE had lower cortisol levels (status p<0.001), but elevated levels of unconjugated 17-hydroxypregnenolone (status p<0.001). Progesterone was higher in the follicular menstrual phase (FP) in WWE than in the controls (status×menstrual phase p<0.05, Bonferroni multiple comparisons p<0.05), whereas 17-hydroxyprogesterone was higher in WWE in both menstrual phases (status p<0.001). The steroid conjugates were mostly elevated in WWE. The levels of 5α/β-reduced androstanes in WWE that were significantly higher than the controls were etiocholanolone (status p<0.001), 5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol (status p<0.001), and the 5α/β-reduced androstane polar conjugates (status p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS WWE showed a trend toward higher circulating 3α-hydroxy-5α/β-reduced androstanes, increased activity of 17α-hydroxylase/17,20 lyase in the Δ(5)-steroid metabolic pathway, and increased levels of the steroid polar conjugates.

Abstract
This review highlights the role of major endogenous neurosteroids in seizure disorders and the promise of neurosteroid replacement therapy in epilepsy. Neurosteroids are endogenous modulators of seizure susceptibility. Neurosteroids such as allopregnanolone (3α-hydroxy-5α-pregnane-20-one) and allotetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone (3α,21-dihydroxy-5α-pregnan-20-one) are positive modulators of GABA-A receptors. Aside from peripheral tissues, neurosteroids are synthesized within the brain, mostly in principal neurons. Neurosteroids potentiate synaptic GABA-A receptor function and also activate δ-subunit-containing extrasynaptic GABA-A receptors that mediate tonic currents and thus may play an important role in neuronal network excitability and seizure susceptibility. Our studies over the past decade have shown that neurosteroids are broad-spectrum anticonvulsants and confer seizure protection in various animal models. They protect against seizures induced by GABA-A receptor antagonists, 6-Hz model, pilocarpine-induced limbic seizures, and seizures in kindled animals. Unlike benzodiazepines, tolerance does not occur to their actions during chronic administration. Our recent studies provide compelling evidence that neurosteroids may have antiepileptogenic properties. There is emerging evidence that endogenous neurosteroids may play a key role in the pathophysiology of catamenial epilepsy, stress-sensitive seizure conditions, temporal lobe epilepsy, and alcohol-withdrawal seizures. It is suggested that neurosteroid replacement with natural or synthetic neurosteroids may be useful in the treatment of epilepsy. Synthetic analogs of neurosteroids that are devoid of hormonal side effects show promise in the treatment of diverse seizure disorders. Agents that stimulate endogenous production of neurosteroids may also be useful for treatment of epilepsy.

Abstract
Only limited data is available concerning the role of unconjugated Δ(5) C19-steroids and almost no data exists regarding the neuroactive C21 and C19 3α-hydroxy-5α/β-metabolites in men with epilepsy. To evaluate the alterations in serum neuroactive steroids and related substances in adult men with epilepsy on valproate and carbamazepine monotherapy, we have measured 26 unconjugated steroids, 18 steroid polar conjugates, gonadotropins and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) in 6 and 11 patients on valproate and carbamazepine monotherapy, respectively, and in 19 healthy adult men, using the GC-MS and immunoassays. Decreased testosterone, free androgen index, free testosterone, androstenediol, 5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol (androstanediol), androsterone, epiandrosterone, DHEA, 7β-hydroxy-DHEA, and DHEAS levels were associated with epilepsy per se. Valproate (VPA) therapy increased 5α-dihydrotestosterone, androsterone, epiandrosterone, DHEA, DHEAS, and 7β-hydroxy-DHEA levels. Decrease in pregnenolone and 17-hydroxypregnenolone were associated with epilepsy with no effect of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Alternatively, the increase in progesterone levels was linked to epilepsy and VPA further increased progesterone levels. Reduced steroid 20α-hydroxy-metabolites and cortisol were connected with epilepsy without an effect of AEDs. Carbamazepine induced only slight decrease in isopregnanolone, 5α,20α-tetrahydroprogesterone, and androstanediol levels.

Abstract
CONTEXT No large studies of young men have examined circulating sex hormones in relation to visceral and sc adipose tissues. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the role of visceral adipose tissue and sc adipose tissue on circulating sex hormones and the impact of obesity on sex hormone reference intervals. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Population-based study of 783 Danish 20- to 29-yr-old men was performed using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry in all men and magnetic resonance imaging in 406 men. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Total, bioavailable, and free testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), total and bioavailable estradiol, SHBG, and LH were measured. RESULTS In multiple regressions, visceral adipose tissue was an independent, inverse correlate of bioavailable and free testosterone. Subcutaneous adipose tissue correlated negatively with SHBG and positively with bioavailable estradiol adjusted for total testosterone. Both visceral adipose tissue and sc adipose tissue correlated inversely with total testosterone and DHT. Adjusting for SHBG, only visceral adipose tissue remained significantly correlated. Low total testosterone in viscerally obese men was not accompanied by increased LH. The androgen reference intervals were significantly displaced toward lower limits in obese vs. nonobese men (total testosterone: 8.5-29.3 vs. 12.5-37.6 nmol/liter; bioavailable testosterone: 6.1-16.9 vs. 7.6-20.7 nmol/liter; free testosterone: 0.23-0.67 vs. 0.29-0.78 nmol/liter; and DHT: 0.63-2.5 vs. 0.85-3.2 nmol/liter), whereas total estradiol (36.5-166 pmol/liter) and bioavailable estradiol (23.4-120 pmol/liter) reference intervals were not. In obese men, 22.9% had total testosterone less than 12.5 nmol/liter. CONCLUSIONS Visceral adipose tissues correlate independently with bioavailable and free testosterone in young men. The inverse relationship between total testosterone and sc adipose tissue seems to be accounted for by variations in SHBG. The reference intervals for total testosterone, bioavailable testosterone, free testosterone, and DHT are displaced toward lower limits in obese men.

Abstract
Finasteride is the first 5alpha-reductase inhibitor that received clinical approval for the treatment of human benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and androgenetic alopecia (male pattern hair loss). These clinical applications are based on the ability of finasteride to inhibit the Type II isoform of the 5alpha-reductase enzyme, which is the predominant form in human prostate and hair follicles, and the concomitant reduction of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). In addition to catalyzing the rate-limiting step in the reduction of testosterone, both isoforms of the 5alpha-reductase enzyme are responsible for the reduction of progesterone and deoxycorticosterone to dihydroprogesterone (DHP) and dihydrodeoxycorticosterone (DHDOC), respectively. Recent preclinical data indicate that the subsequent 3alpha-reduction of DHT, DHP and DHDOC produces steroid metabolites with rapid non-genomic effects on brain function and behavior, primarily via an enhancement of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic inhibitory neurotransmission. Consistent with their ability to enhance the action of GABA at GABA(A) receptors, these steroid derivatives (termed neuroactive steroids) possess anticonvulsant, antidepressant and anxiolytic effects in addition to altering aspects of sexual- and alcohol-related behaviors. Thus, finasteride, which inhibits both isoforms of 5alpha-reductase in rodents, has been used as a tool to manipulate neuroactive steroid levels and determine the impact on behavior. Results of some preclinical studies and clinical observations with finasteride are described in this review article. The data suggest that endogenous neuroactive steroid levels may be inversely related to symptoms of premenstrual and postpartum dysphoric disorder, catamenial epilepsy, depression, and alcohol withdrawal.

Abstract
Oxcarbazepine is an antiepileptic drug (AED) indicated for use as monotherapy and add-on therapy in adults and children 4 years of age and older. Despite being structurally related to carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine differs substantially in its pharmacokinetic and safety profile; oxcarbazepine has a much lower risk of pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions than carbamazepine. Carbamazepine has also been shown to induce the hepatic synthesis of sex hormone-binding globulin, thus reducing free serum testosterone levels and possibly causing erectile dysfunction (ED) in some men; these effects have not been observed with oxcarbazepine. This paper provides a discussion of recent clinical experience with men who presented in private clinical practice with complaints of ED while being treated with carbamazepine for seizure disorders. The four illustrative case studies presented in this report suggest that switching AED treatment from carbamazepine to oxcarbazepine in men with epilepsy can reduce the ED side effects observed with carbamazepine.

Abstract
PURPOSE Men with epilepsy often have sexual or reproductive abnormalities that are attributed to alterations in androgen levels, including subnormal free testosterone. Levels of the major metabolites of testosterone-androsterone (5alpha-androstan-3alpha-ol-17-one; 5alpha,3alpha-A), a neurosteroid that acts as a positive allosteric modulator of GABA(A) receptors, and its 5beta-epimer etiocholanolone (5beta-androstan-3alpha-ol-17-one; 5beta,3alpha-A)-also may be reduced in epilepsy. 5alpha,3alpha-A has been found in adult brain, and both metabolites, which also can be derived from androstenedione, are present in substantial quantities in serum along with their glucuronide and sulfate conjugates. This study sought to determine whether these endogenous steroid metabolites can protect against seizures. METHODS The anticonvulsant activity of 5alpha,3alpha-A and 5beta,3alpha-A was investigated in electrical and chemoconvulsant seizure models in mice. The steroids also were examined for activity against extracellularly recorded epileptiform discharges in the CA3 region of the rat hippocampal slice induced by perfusion with 55 microM 4-aminopyridine (4-AP). RESULTS Intraperitoneal injection of 5alpha,3alpha-A-protected mice in a dose-dependent fashion from seizures in the following models (ED50, dose in mg/kg protecting 50% of animals): 6-Hz electrical stimulation (29.1), pentylenetetrazol (43.5), pilocarpine (105), 4-AP (215), and maximal electroshock (224). 5beta,3alpha-A also was active in the 6-Hz and pentylenetetrazol models, but was less potent (ED50 values, 76.9 and 139 mg/kg, respectively), whereas epiandrosterone (5alpha,3beta-A) was inactive (ED50, <or=300 mg/kg). 5alpha,3alpha-A (10-100 microM) also inhibited epileptiform discharges in a concentration-dependent fashion in the in vitro slice model, whereas 5beta,3alpha-A was active but of lower potency, and 5alpha,3beta-A was inactive. CONCLUSIONS 5alpha,3alpha-A and 5beta,3alpha-A have anticonvulsant properties. Although of low potency, the steroids are present in high abundance and could represent endogenous modulators of seizure susceptibility.

Abstract
Men with epilepsy are known to have reduced fertility. Whether this is drug-induced or a result of the epilepsy itself is still under debate. Few studies have been carried out on semen from men with epilepsy. The aim of the present study was first to investigate possible drug-specific effects of long-term treatment with either valproate or carbamazepine on semen quality and testicular size, and secondly to see whether the results in epilepsy patients differed from healthy fertile males. Men with epilepsy, 20-40 years old, having used either valproate (n = 16) or carbamazepine (n = 20) for >2 years, were included. The semen data of healthy fertile men without epilepsy in the same age group (n = 90) were used as controls. The semen was examined according to WHO (1999). No significant differences in semen quality were seen between men receiving either valproate or carbamazepine. However, semen from the valproate-treated, as opposed to the carbamazepine-treated, differed from controls with regard to tail abnormalities. Absolute testicular size was not significantly different between the two treatment groups. However, after correcting for changes in body mass index (BMI), the testicular size/BMI ratio was lower in the valproate-treated patients. The valproate-treated patients gained significantly more weight than the carbamazepine-treated patients after start of current medication. No differences between the patient groups were found in terms of libido/potency or number of pregnancies fathered. When comparing all epilepsy patients with healthy fertile males, there was a significant reduction in the percentage of rapidly progressive motile sperms in the semen from epileptic patients. The semen from men with epilepsy also showed significant differences from the controls regarding neck and head abnormalities of the spermatozoa.
