“…The present study was designed to investigate enzyme induction with OXC, in particular its effect on serum concentrations of the active metabolite, 10-OH-CZ, and its influence on other endogenous and exogenous substances metabolised by inducible pathways and previously shown to be affected by treatment with equivalent doses of CBZ (Connell et al, 1984;Rapeport et al, 1983 0,1,2,3,4,6,8,10,12,24,32,48,56,72 and 96 h later for measurement of serum OXC, its major metabolite 10-OH-CZ and a further metabolic product 10, 11-dihydrotrans-10, 11-dihydroxy-carbamazepine (transdiol).…”
