Abstract
: Our results support that (1) altered lipid metabolism might be associated but not solely influenced by thyroid hormones and (2) enzyme induction is not the main or only reason for altered thyroid function or HDL-c among patients with epilepsy. Hypothalamic/pituitary dysregulation by precisely mechanism caused by epilepsy itself or AEDs seems possible and (3) it is important to recognize that patients with epilepsy are at great risk for atherosclerosis, hence monitoring and correction of the culprit risks are mandatory.
