Induction of liver microsomal enzymes in epileptics under treatment with carbamazepine
1983
: Serum gamma-GT activity was significantly (0.01 greater than P greater than 0.001) elevated in 18 out of 30 epileptics receiving carbamazepine (CBZ), i.e. in 60%. The incidence of abnormal gamma-GT levels in the control group (25 neurotic patients taking minor tranquilizers) was lower (12%). The possible relationships between the enzyme induction or chronic hepatic toxicity and the elevation of serum gamma-GT activity in epileptics taking CBZ are discussed.
