Serum carnitine levels of children with epilepsy: Related factors including valproate

This study measured the serum carnitine levels in patients with epilepsy and determined the factors contributing to low carnitine levels. We measured the serum carnitine levels in 94 consecutive patients with epilepsy, including the free carnitine (FC) and acylcarnitine fractions, using an enzyme cy...

Zusammenfassung:This study measured the serum carnitine levels in patients with epilepsy and determined the factors contributing to low carnitine levels. We measured the serum carnitine levels in 94 consecutive patients with epilepsy, including the free carnitine (FC) and acylcarnitine fractions, using an enzyme cycling method. We defined a low FC as a serum FC level
