Effect of Carbamazepine Therapy on Serum Leptin Concentrations

Sandeep Singh

During the course of using antiepileptic medication, patients with epilepsy may experience harmful metabolic effects. An important part of the regulation of food and energy use is played by the hormone leptin. With the use of several antiepileptic medications, leptin has been predicted to develop a relationship to weight gain in epilepsy patients. This investigation’s objective is to assess how carbamazepine affects both serum leptin levels and body weight.
