Anticonvulsant Medications in Mitochondrial Disease

Pediatr Neurol Briefs. 2017 Nov;31(3):9. doi: 10.15844/pedneurbriefs-31-3-3.

Abstract

Researchers from Vienna, Austria and Sao Paulo, Brazil studied the known effects of anticonvulsant drugs on mitochondria, using a literature search to include only references to epilepsy associated with mitochondrial disease, and a specific anti-convulsant drug (i.e. levetiracetam) with a specific mitochondrial function (i.e. mitochondrial membrane potential).

Keywords: Anti-Convulsant; Anti-Epileptic Drug; Epilepsy; Mitochondrial Disease.
