Atherosclerotic Effects of Long-Term Old and New Antiepileptic Drugs Monotherapy

Abstract: This work aimed to evaluate the metabolic and atherogenic effects of long-term antiepileptic drugs in a group of Egyptian epileptic patients. Sixty-nine epileptic patients on antiepileptic drug monotherapy for at least 2 years and 34 control subjects were recruited in this study. Patients were divided into 5 subgroups according to antiepileptic drugs used (valproate, carbamazepine, lamotrigine, topiramate, and levetiracetam). Fasting lipid profile (total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein chol… Show more

“…Elevated Hcy itself is reported to be epileptogenic and suspected to cause brain atrophy 15. Phenytoin, carbamazepine and phenobarbitone among first-generation AEDs and topiramate and oxcarbazepine among the newer AEDs have been reported to cause hyperhomocysteinaemia in about 15–60% cases 16 17. In view of the fact that older generation AEDs constantly deplete various cofactors intricately involved in Hcy metabolism, folic acid supplementation has been advocated to provide long-term benefit in preventing adverse cardiovascular events secondary to elevated Hcy concentrations 18…”

“…PHT, PB ve CBZ gibi enzim indüksiyonu yapan antiepileptik ilaçların serum TK, TG ve LDL düzeylerini artırdığını bildiren çok sayıda çalışma vardır. [5,6,[24][25][26] Bir başka çalışmada PB ve CBZ kullanan hastalarda HDL, Apo-A, Apo-B düzeyleri yüksek bulunmuştur. [27] Enzim inhibisyonu yapan VPA da ise birbirinden farklı sonuçlar bildirilmiştir, bazı çalışmalarda lipid profilini değiştirmediği belirtilirken [28][29][30] diğer bazı çalışmalarda ise lipid parametrelerini ılımlı ya da anlamlı değiştirdiği bildirilmiştir.…”

“…[27] Enzim inhibisyonu yapan VPA da ise birbirinden farklı sonuçlar bildirilmiştir, bazı çalışmalarda lipid profilini değiştirmediği belirtilirken [28][29][30] diğer bazı çalışmalarda ise lipid parametrelerini ılımlı ya da anlamlı değiştirdiği bildirilmiştir. [26,31] Yeni AEİ'ların lipid profili üzerine olumsuz etkilerinin daha az olduğunu belirten çalışmalar bildirilmiştir. Eski ve yeni AEİ'lerin lipid metabolizması üzerine etkilerini araştıran bir çalışmada LTG, TPM ve LEV'in de lipidleri artırdığı ancak bu artışın en az olduğu AEİ'in LEV olduğu görülmüştür.…”
