= .00; higher levels of dehydroepiandrostenedione (0.69 + 0.25vs. 0.54 + 0.38μg/mL), p = .05 and luteinizing hormone-LH (6.01 + 3.90mIU/mL vs. 2.85 + 1.36mIU/mL), p = .00, higher LH/FSH ration (0.87 + 0.50 vs 0.32 + 0.16, p = .00). AED'S were Phenytoin (70%), Carbamazepine(26%), Valproate (4%). There was no significant difference between individual AED's.
ConclusionThis study demonstrates that WWE have reproductive endocrine abnormalities. The role of epilepsy versus EIAEDS needs further evaluation.
