Antiepileptic drugs reduce serum uric acid.
Uric acid examination in 554 epileptic out-patients under long-term anticonvulsant medication revealed significantly lower serum concentrations compared to a group of normal controls. In patients taking enzyme-inducing drugs, uric acid levels were found to be lower than in those under valproate sodium. In addition, uric acid concentrations showed a negative correlation with duration of therapy ...
متن کاملThe Modified Atkins Diet in Refractory Epilepsy
The modified Atkins diet is a less restrictive variation of the ketogenic diet. This diet is started on an outpatient basis without a fast, allows unlimited protein and fat, and does not restrict calories or fluids. Recent studies have shown good efficacy and tolerability of this diet in refractory epilepsy. In this review, we discuss the use of the modified Atkins diet in refractory epilepsy.

متن کاملGlycogen storage disease type III: modified Atkins diet improves myopathy
BACKGROUND Frequent feeds with carbohydrate-rich meals or continuous enteral feeding has been the therapy of choice in glycogen storage disease (Glycogenosis) type III. Recent guidelines on diagnosis and management recommend frequent feedings with high complex carbohydrates or cornstarch avoiding fasting in children, while in adults a low-carb-high-protein-diet is recommended. While this regime...
متن کاملZinc concentrations in leucocytes of patients receiving antiepileptic drugs.
To determine whether some of the side effects of antiepileptic drugs could be due to zinc depletion within tissues, zinc concentrations in the polymorphonuclear leucocytes in 26 epileptic patients receiving valproate or carbamazepine and 14 controls were assessed. There was no difference in zinc concentration in leucocytes among the three groups and no evidence of zinc depletion. Valproate and ...
