ABSTRACT

Background and Purpose: Oxcarbazepine is a widely used novel antiepileptic drug. In vitro electrophysiologic studies indicate that oxcarbazepine can block voltage-sensitive sodium channels, enhance the functioning of the neural membranes, and inhibit the propagation of synaptic impulses. It is also necessary to investigate the effect of oxcarbazepine on sex hormones because of its effects on the nervous system and the close neuro-hormonal association of this system with reproduction. In this research, the effect of oxcarbazepine was studied on the amount LH, FSH, testosterone Hormones and male reproductive physiology
